How get devtools::install_github() working behind a proxy that messes with the SSL certs
Raw
devtols_install_github_behind_proxy.R
library(httr)
library(devtools)
# make httr set CURL to ignore SSL verification problems
# (needed if the SSL proxy replaces certs with its own)
set_config(config(ssl.verifypeer = 0L))
# set proxy details
set_config(use_proxy("10.10.10.10",8080))
install_github("rstudio/ggvis")
# change settings back to 0
reset_config()

I still got errors after setting these configs

 devtools::install_github('cole-trapnell-lab/monocle3')
  Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
  SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

Any suggestions?
