Octokit proxy configuration

I have an enterprise github setup which is behind a proxy. Octokit supports this configuration but there is no notion to pass proxy configuration in @sementic-release/github library.

Am I missing something?

I have tested this by changing the Octokit initialization in the following line (It works!): https://github.com/semantic-release/github/blob/master/lib/get-client.js#L105

The fact that the target URL is https is independent of the protocol supported by the proxy. You can use an http proxy to reach an https URL and vice-versa. The environment variable HTTP_PROXY is just a generic name, it doesn’t imply that the proxy has to be contacted with http or https nor that the URL you target is http or https.

You should configure HTTP_PROXY to https://your-proxy:3128 if it supports https and you want the communications between the plugin and the proxy to be secured. If your proxy doesn’t support https or you don’t want to secure the communication between between the client and the proxy then you can configure HTTP_PROXY to http://your-proxy:3128.

thanks, @pvdlg for the explanation.
