How to configure a proxy into GitBash environment on windows 10

I installed Python 3.7.3 on windows 10, but I can't install Python packages via PIP in Gitbash (Git SCM), due to my company's internet proxy.

I tryed to create environment variables for the proxy via the following, but it didn't work:

I found a temporary solution that works for me: inserting the following aliases into the .bashrc file:

The above is working but I am looking for a nicer solution so that I don't need to set aliases for every command I use. I was thinking about something like an environment variable but didn't found out how to set it up on a windows' git bash environment yet.

Do you have an idea on how to do it?

First, you don't need Git bash to pip install Python modules.
Only Git path (to use linux-like commands, plus curl, even though it is available on recent Windows 10), from a regular CMD, with a simplified PATH:

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
set PH=C:\path\to\Python37
set PATH=%PH%;%PH%\Scripts

Second, you can pip install in a corporate environment, provided:

  • you access your proxy through px, an HTTP proxy server to automatically authenticate through an NTLM proxy
  • you use and trust mirror alternatives for pip module sources.

Regarding genotrance/px, simply run the service with px --proxy=my.company.prpxy:<port> --save --config=/path/to/your/px.ini

No need to enter your credentials (Windows log/password): the proxy uses your current login session.

Set your environment variable to reference that proxy:

set HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:3128
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://localhost:3128

Then, this will work:

λ pip install -i http://pypi.mirror.frontiernet.net/simple --trusted-host pypi.mirror.frontiernet.net "ansible-tower-cli==3.2.1" --force-reinstall

first you need to check if the corp Proxy you are behind is NTLM or not, check this https://stackoverflow.com/a/12476379/3313834 may help.
