Set Proxy in Terminal (Bash, CMD, PowerShell, etc.)

Assume that you want to set 127.0.0.1:10809 as HTTP proxy and 127.0.0.1:10808 as SOCKS proxy.

How to set a proxy for CMD/Powershell/Terminal/Git

CMD / PowerShell Using netsh

Configure the proxy server manually using netsh command

Tunnel all your internet traffic through a HTTP proxy

netsh winhttp set proxy 127.0.0.1:10809 bypass-list="localhost"

Tunnel all your internet traffic through a SOCKS proxy

netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=127.0.0.1:10808" bypass-list="localhost"

View the current proxy settings:

netsh winhttp show proxy

Clear all proxy settings:

netsh winhttp reset proxy
