I have a weird issue that I can't seem to find an answer for.
When I enter:
git config --global http.proxy http://{username}:{password}@{proxy address}:{port}/
It returns an error:
git config --global http.proxy http://{username}:mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom{password}@{proxy address}:{port}/
I do have an !1 in the password field that seems to be getting replaced and the rest of the password is echoing.
I had a look is !1 is a shortcut to /dev/cdrom but couldn't find anything.
Yes, in an interactive shell, ! is the last command line, and it's quite possible !1 is the first word of it, etc. (Can you tell it's not a feature I use?) Just put the whole proxy url in single quotes like
git config --global http.proxy 'http://{username}:{password}@{proxy address}:{port}/'
(You'll see similar effects with $ and anything that's a shell wildcard like ? or *: the command line doesn't know what's a file name parameter.)
" not ' and it was still returning the same error
