I'm behind a corporate firewall, so most of the time (e.g. Eclipse updates) I want to be going through a proxy. However, the servers I pull from in Git are all internal. I currently have to change my proxy settings every time I switch, but I'd like to set it up so that EGit uses a direct connection.
My guess is that it's just not a feature EGit has, but can anyone think of a workaround maybe?
Thanks!
EGit should follow the General > Network configuration settings.
If you set that Network mode to "Manual", you can:
- set your proxy (with authentication)
- add sites you want in "no_proxy" (in order to not try to contact a proxy)
This seems also valid for ssh protocol, as illustrated by bug 349702.
For me the answer of VonC didn't work (Eclipse Neon.2). I had to enter my proxy at the Settings under:
Window -> Preferences
and then
General -> Network connections
Also note that some proxy servers block the git:// and ssh:// protocols. If you face issues, try to use the https:// or http:// protocol.
