I'm not familiar with proxies, but from what I've read, they are configured either through git config (for http) or ~/.ssh/config (for socks). See https://cms-sw.github.io/tutorial-proxy.html for examples.

In general, if something is configurable through git itself, we avoid adding a config in lazygit, for two reasons: to keep lazygit's config space tidy, and so that lazygit behaves as close as possible to git on the command line.

Does that make sense? Do you still think there's a reason to add a config to lazygit itself?

OK. Get it.
Thanks very much.
