proxy.sh

Shell script to set proxy for various programs.

Usage

sh proxy.sh <proxy> <exception>

Or you can set env vars HTTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY_EXCEPTION and run

sh proxy.sh

There is also file .env.example and you can copy it to .env and set your config. Then you can use https://github.com/kennethreitz/autoenv to automatically source env variables from .env file whenever you cd to directory.

Copmarision to setting env variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY

Pros

• Single script run and everything works
• You don't need to restart all the programs to reread env variables, when you unhibernate your machine and there is no proxy in the network
• If you need to clone some repo which is accessible not through proxy, you don't need to unreset proxy like this git clone --config "http.proxy=" and then reset proxy inside repo
• You can have exceptions for git and bower

Cons

• You may need to set proxy for new programs
