I’m trying to use git behind a proxy and i have set up the proxy details in the .gitconfig files as follows.
[http]
proxy = http://<username>:<password>@<proxy_ip>:<proxy_port>
The problem is that the username and password field contain the ‘@’ character which needs to
be escaped.How should it be escaped?
Replacing
@with%40. (as illustrated, for instance, in this bug report)
