vue configuration when behind proxy

Hi,

We are having lots of trouble configuring the vue-cli. We are behind a proxy and get the following error when installing a template:

vue-cli · Failed to download repo vuejs-templates/simple: unable to verify the first certificate

We think this is due to our proxy and misconfiguration of our gitconfig. Also, our proxy has a certificate configured. Does anyone know, how to troubleshoot this because I find this very cumbersome.

Our .gitconfig file looks like this:

# This is Git's per-user configuration file.
[user]
# Please adapt and uncomment the following lines:
name = myusername
email = [e-mail]
[http] 
sslVerify = false 
	proxy = http://<username>:<password>@<proxy>:8080
[https] 
[url "https://github.com/"]
insteadOf = git://github.com/

Thanks a lot in advance.

For anyone still having issues with this here’s a band-aid fix:

git clone https://github.com/vuejs-templates/simple ~/.vue-templates/simple
vue init simple my-project --offline
cd my-project
npm install
npm run dev

So like the commenters git works fine by itself, so clone the template you want into your HOME/.vue-templates folder, then use the --offline switch to skip the non-functioning git clone that vue-cli uses. Then npm install works just fine and you are ready to go.

(NOTE: If you are on Windows machine using cmd, you’ll need to change your folder commands appropriately.)
