Rebar poor proxy git fixer
Sometimes you are behind a http proxy, and the git:// protocol is not accessible.
For instance on erlang rebar, all developers prefer the git:// protocol when listing dependency. But how to fix it if you are behind a http proxy?
Ask help to git... [bash] git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/ [/bash]
