GIT Command fails in VPN - fatal: unable to access

Git users may face the below issue while connecting to git while they are in VPN


fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/user/MyProject.git/'


In order to over come this issue, the git config must be updated with proxy which is used in your VPN.

Open command prompt and enter the following command

git config --global http.proxy #ProxyServer:8080

#ProxyServer must be replaced with the IP or the full name of the proxy server.

Do not enter proxy server with https:\\ or http:\\

To ensure that you have configured correctly.

git config -l

This would list down all your configuration. In that list, you would find the value for http.proxy

http.proxy=#ProxyServer:8080


Try using the git command after configuring the proxy settings. This time, it must work.

To unset the proxy setting, use the following command

git config --global --unset http.proxy

Happy Learning!
