git proxy git-config

I'm behind a firewall that is blocking port 9418 (git) and am trying to install some tools that are explicitly doing a checkout of git://github.com/..., so I can't switch to https for the checkout.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to redirect all traffic to port 9418 through a proxy and if so how :)

If you are talking about git submodules, try this:

git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/

This way, you don't need to set any proxy, nor run any script.
