Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn’t created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc. yes, we are trying to create an app using CLI. While doing npm install, we get a few errors due to connection to github. We being behind an corporate firewall, use proxies to download all contents. everything else works fine, but the angular-cli. That too, these new errors started coming with .16 and .17. steps.

1. have angular-cli.1.0.0-beta.16 or .17 in your package.json
2. do npm install from behind a firewall (using proxies)

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

### Mention any other details that might be useful.
Please at let us know what exactly changed in .16 and .17 where npm install is impacted. It is now asking git to be installed and available in PATH and then above mentioned errors. We use Bamboo for our CI, and the moment our npm install task fails with an error, it stops building our application.

can you try configuring git to always use https:// instead of git:// ?

Try: git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
