You have to clarify what do you mean by "tunnel". So far, I did not hear of companies which would provide access to the Internet via "HTTP tunnels"--the common practice is to use HTTP proxies, not tunnels. Hence the first question: do you really mean a tunnel or a proxy? The next thing to consider is that Git implements several network protocols to access repositories: * "Native", usually denoted by git:// schema in repo URLs and used for r/o access (fetching only). * HTTP and HTTPS (via cURL [1]). * SSH (being the most common). Any given server can be accessed by a number of protocols *which were made available by its administrators.* Hence you have to research what protocols your remote server(s) support(s) and which of them you can use for your purposes. Now, I'm not sure for the native protocol and SSH, but HTTP[S] is certainly able to go via proxies. The other protocols can be tunneled through a proxy via an external tools like corkscrew [2] (and this obviously raises a question about what OS you're running which you didn't told us as well). With this data in mind, you should be able to do your further research. 1. http://curl.haxx.se/ 2. http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-proxy.php -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
