WSL Git Proxy Fix Skill

Overview

This skill helps diagnose and fix git proxy connection errors in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environments. Common error: "Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 7890 after 0 ms: Connection refused".

Problem Description

When using git in WSL, you may encounter proxy-related connection errors even when no proxy should be active. This happens because:

  1. Proxy configurations may be set in git config (global or local)
  2. Environment variables may contain proxy settings
  3. HTTPS git URLs may fail authentication in WSL
  4. Residual proxy settings from Windows may interfere

Quick Start

1. Run the Fix Script

# Make the script executable
chmod +x tools/wsl-proxy-fix.sh
