Hi all,
I have searched everywhere over the Internet and I have yet
to find a way to clone a project using git when my
workstation is behind a company proxy. Can you guys clone
your projects to a single zip file that I can download?
This would be easier instead of working with some strange
command-line tool that does not recognize modern networks.
Honestly I just need the DWT binary with the help files so I
can use the api. I have spent weeks searching for a way to
download DWT to my windows workstation at work and have yet
figured out how to make GIT work.
Git provides a download by zip; Right side, bottom.
This is what I found on getting Git to work with a proxy:

I appreciate your response. I have tried these. I think the
real issue is that I am not sure on the IP and port needed for
the proxy here at work. The company uses WPAD in the browser
and I cannot figure out what the IP and port the browser is
using to connect through the proxy. If I knew that I probably
could make it work. It would be nice if GitHUB would change
their Downlaod Zip button such that it does a recursive zip to
include all the subfolders.
I would just ssh to somewhere outside the firewall, git clone
there, tar the folder, then scp it back. Assuming that is
possible through your firewall.
If you're on windows then there are the always useful putty and
winscp to do your ssh and scp work respectively.
Well, the thing to remember is that he did say "company", so such
approaches to bypass a firewall could very well be a violation of
his IT policies. I know doing this would be *major* violation of
my companie's policies, and could be cause for termination.
