We are moving from an internal Git server to an external service. I have set up a project in Azure DevOps and I'm attempting to clone the repo to my local machine behind a corporate proxy.
When I run the clone command with the URL from Azure DevOps, I get the following error:
fatal: unable to access 'https://user@dev.azure.com/user/project/_git/project/':
Received HTTP code 501 from proxy after CONNECT
As far as I can see, Git is set up correctly with the proxy details already (it appears with the right proxy address when I run git --global-config --get http.proxy)
From some Googling around, the proxy might be incapable of giving access to external Git.
The proxy may (will likely) be out of our control; what other options do we have for connecting to an external repo with normal git commands (fetch, push, pull, etc)?
There is a similar question here: Getting git to work with a proxy server, however that times out whereas mine returns instantly with a specific error message (Received HTTP code 501 from proxy after CONNECT).
