    try to add the proxy server into your .gitconfig (it is located in your $HOME folder)

     [http]
        proxy = http://username:passwd@your-proxy-ip:your-proxy-port

    example:

     [http]
        proxy = http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:3128

    this must be placed in the [core] section of your gitconfig.
