Proxy

Choose how SmartGit connects through a proxy:

• Don’t use a proxy uses direct connections.
• Auto-detect the system proxy uses the system proxy selection.
• Use following proxy uses the HTTP proxy specified by Host and Port. Enter the host name without a URL scheme.

If the proxy needs credentials, select Proxy requires authentication and enter Username and Password. These fields are available for a manually specified proxy.

Update checks use the selected proxy mode. For Git HTTP and HTTPS commands, SmartGit supplies its manual proxy only when all these conditions hold:

• Use following proxy is selected.
• No proxy is configured in the repository, user, or system Git configuration, including URL-specific http or https sections.
• None of HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, or NO_PROXY is set in the environment.

Git’s own proxy settings take precedence for Git commands.
