Git on Windows behind proxy

I am working begind proxy at work and at home. So setting up some tools could be somewhat tricky especially at work due to very strict filtering policy.

To use git@github I've tried to use git on windows and finally ended up using Ubuntu inside VirtualBox with shared folder to commit and push to github. This is crazy setup =)

Today, finally had some time to getting things running at home using https protocol to github. Project I am working on initially developed with NetBeans and use GuiBuilder, so I've installed nbgit for NB 6.9 (http://code.google.com/p/nbgit/). It has very limited set of git commands. I tried TortoiseGit in addition, but it failed to push for unreported reason. If you have same issue you could try following solution(works for me=))

1. Install git for windows from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/. Git-1.7.2.3-preview20100911 in my case
2. Launch Git Bash and go to your git repo folder.
3. Set https proxy.
   
   

   export https_proxy=https://host:port
   or 
   git config --global http.proxy http://host:port
   

4. Update global git config to fix ssl verification error.
   
   

   error: error setting certificate verify locations:
   CAfile: /bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
   CApath: none
   

   Fix for this:
   
   

   git config --global http.sslverify false 
   or 
   git config --system http.sslcainfo \bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt
   

5. Now you can push you changes to origin
   
   

   git push origin master
