Are you using the gmail web interface from this same system? If so, then https:// should, in principle, be available and work for git too...
On the other hand, if you are using a separate (windows) system for gmail, then you ought to be able to run Pkg.install/build on the second system, get all requirements you need, and then copy your "C:/Users/USERNAME/.julia/v0.#" directory onto the firewalled system. This is tricky/unreliable on linux, but should be quite simple on windows as long as both systems are same word size -- both 32-bit or 64-bit (because of Microsoft's ABI permanence).
