Installing Atom packages with git port blocked

I'm trying to install the autocomplete-clang plugin for atom. Unfortunately my company firewall blocks the 9418 port which is used by the git:// protocol.

I'm able to install plugins which use https:// URL to clone git repos and dependencies but when I try to install autocomplete-clang I get the following error :

npm WARN `git config --get remote.origin.url` returned wrong result (git://github.com/Kev/clang-flags.git) https://github.com/Kev/clang-flags.git

I tried to add this to my gitconfig:

[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://

I also redirected traffic from port 9418 to port 80

# iptables -t nat -L -n -v
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 24948 packets, 4967K bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
    0     0 REDIRECT   tcp  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            tcp dpt:9418 redir ports 80

but it doesn't work. Did I miss something ? How could I bypass this block ?

Try first if you cannot instruct git to use https instead of git, all the time:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

The OP Opera confirms in the comments the issue to be linked to atom/apm 106, related to npm/npm 5257:

apm not respecting git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

Opera adds:

I edited the add-remote-git.js file (now containing the code that is referred to in atom/apm 106) and added the replace call suggested in the last comment.
