公司内网加域，想要clone github上的项目需要配置代理。查到一个老外的情况和我一致，ctrl CV 解决了问题。
n my RHEL box I tried:
git clone https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/vagrant/graphite-web/.git/
and it was hanging and finally giving HTTP timeout error.
I tried then
export http_proxy=http://myuser:mypassword@myproxy:8080
and again
git clone https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/vagrant/graphite-web/.git/
error: Failed connect to github.com:443; Operation now in progress while accessing https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
finally I did:
git config --global http.proxy http://myuser:mypassword@myproxy:8080
git clone https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web.git
and I got the magic
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/vagrant/graphite-web/.git/

If you expected such a widely used product like git to give you some hint on how to troubleshoot such a common issue, you are expecting in vain, git is for geeks and geeks are not user friendly.
