I set up a proxy on Mac via System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies.
Is that possible to do the same programatically via bash shell?

Yes, using the
networksetupcommand. There are separate options for setting different types of proxies (e.g.-setwebproxy,-setsocksfirewallproxy, etc), and you need to know the name of the primary network “service” (e.g. Ethernet, Airport… basically, the names listed in the sidebar of the Network preferences pane). Here’s an example:If you need to figure out the service name, use
networksetup -listnetworkserviceorderornetworksetup -listallnetworkservices, then parse the list to get the name of the service you want.
