GIT-TF giving me an illegal proxy URL

Question

I am trying to make a copy of a TFS respository as a GIT repo. I was searching around and it looked like git-tf was a tool that could do this for me. The problem I am having is I am constantly getting this error git-tf: Illegal proxy URL: 'http://%USER%:%PASSWORD%@%SERVER%:%PORT%'

I have tried the following commands and get this error:

git-tf clone --deep http://BoxNameHere/tfs/ProjNameHere/ $/Proj
git-tf clone --deep https://user:password@BoxNameHere:443/tfs/ProjNameHere/  $/Proj

I am stumped.

Answer 1

do you have a proxy set somewhere ? you can try clearing the proxy config

export http_proxy=
export https_proxy=
export HTTPS_PROXY=
export HTTP_PROXY=

to clear any environment variables that might be set.
