Gist for blog post 'Easy Configuration of Git for Windows on a Corporate Network'. Easily turn proxy-related settings on and off for Git for Windows. 1) Add these functions to your ~\.bashrc file, 2) Change PASSWORD, PROXY_SERVER, and PROXY_PORT default values, 3) Open new Git Bash interactive shell window and execute function before using git: …

# loosely based on post from ArchWiki and Alan Pope
# https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/proxy_settings
# this is alternative to git config

# configure proxy for git while on corporate network
function proxy_on(){
   export PASSWORD=my_password
   export PROXY_SERVER=my_proxy
   export PROXY_PORT=my_port

   # $USERDOMAIN, $USERNAME, $USERDNSDOMAIN 
   # are existing Windows environment variables on my computer
   
   # on Windows env vars are UPPERCASE even in git bash
   export HTTP_PROXY="http://$USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME:$PASSWORD@$PROXY_SERVER:$PROXY_PORT"
   export HTTPS_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY
   export FTP_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY
   export ALL_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY # for SOCKS use ALL_PROXY or SOCKS_PROXY?

   export NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,$USERDNSDOMAIN"
   
   # optional for debugging 
   export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
   
   # optional Self Signed SSL certs and
   # internal CA certificate in an corporate environment
   export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

   env | grep -e _PROXY -e GIT_ | sort
   echo -e "\nProxy-related environment variables set."
}

# remove proxy settings when off corporate network
function proxy_off(){
   variables=( \
      "PASSWORD" "PROXY_SERVER" "PROXY_PORT" \
      "HTTP_PROXY" "HTTPS_PROXY" "FTP_PROXY" "ALL_PROXY" \
      "NO_PROXY" "GIT_CURL_VERBOSE" "GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY" \
   )

   for i in "${variables[@]}"
   do
      unset $i
   done

   env | grep -e _PROXY -e GIT_ | sort
   echo -e "\nProxy-related environment variables removed."
}

Thanks for this example.

I've just made an update to prompt the password and not store it in the script, here is my edit : https://gist.github.com/mephissto/16436d231b64711ab3c8f971a4b2097e
