Git proxy

By Vallard BenincosaFebruary 2, 20151 min read
To install Ansible on my RH machine I had to get out from a proxy. First, I modify .gitconfig Mine looks like this behind the corporate firewall: 
[http]
        proxy = http://proxy.example.com:80
[https]
        proxy = http://proxy.example.com:80
Or: 
git config --global http.proxy http://proxy.example.com:80
git config --global https.proxy http://proxy.example.com:80
It does the same thing. I also had to add to my .bashrc file: 
export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80
export https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80
Strange that I had to add it to two places. I also found I couldn't do it like the Ansible documentation said.  I had to do: 
git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git --recursive
cd ansible/
git submodule update --init --recursive
yum -y install python-devel
make
make install
That got me a good environment.  Next I created /etc/profile.d/ansible: 
export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80
export https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80

PATH=/usr/local/ansible/bin:$PATH
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/ansible/lib:$PYTHONPATH
MANPATH=/usr/local/ansible/docs/man:$MANPATH
That seemed to work for me!
