Reset git proxy to default configuration

When using Git for version control, configuring a proxy is useful, especially when accessing external resources through a specific network proxy. However, if you need to reset the Git proxy settings to the default configuration (i.e., without using any proxy), follow these steps:

1. Check Current Proxy Configuration: First, verify the current Git proxy configuration using the following commands:

   shell
   git config --global --get http.proxy
   git config --global --get https.proxy

2. Remove Global Proxy Settings: If these commands return a proxy address, remove the global proxy settings with:

   shell
   git config --global --unset http.proxy
   git config --global --unset https.proxy

3. Verify Proxy Removal: Re-run the commands from step 1 to confirm that no proxy settings remain.

4. Remove Proxy Settings for Specific Repository: If a proxy was configured for a specific Git repository, run similar commands in the repository's directory:

   shell
   git config --unset http.proxy
   git config --unset https.proxy

Example:

Assume you previously set the global Git proxy to http://127.0.0.1:8080. To check the configuration:

shell
 git config --global --get http.proxy

returns:

shell
http://127.0.0.1:8080

Then, remove the proxy setting with:

shell
 git config --global --unset http.proxy

Re-checking confirms removal:

shell
 git config --global --get http.proxy

which returns nothing, indicating the proxy has been successfully removed.

By following this method, you can restore Git to its default configuration without any proxy. This is particularly useful when troubleshooting network issues or working in environments where a proxy is unnecessary.
