Git Client Global Configuration

If you frequently clone open-source repositories from GitHub, typing gh-proxy.org manually every time can become tedious. By leveraging Git native insteadOf configuration, your local Git client can automatically rewrite and route all GitHub repository requests through the accelerated proxy.

One-Command Setup

Run the following command in your terminal to enable global acceleration:

git config --global url."https://gh-proxy.org/https://github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

Verify Configuration

Once configured, clone any repository using standard GitHub URLs as usual. The request will be rewritten automatically:

git clone https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git

Git will transparently pull through https://gh-proxy.org/https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git with full line speed.

Revert / Disable Acceleration

If you ever wish to disable the proxy and restore direct connections:

git config --global --unset url."https://gh-proxy.org/https://github.com/".insteadOf
