I got similar problems, such as

(@v1.7) pkg> add https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl
     Cloning git-repo `https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl`
ERROR: failed to clone from https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:HTTP, unknown http scheme 'socks5')

The information of my system is:

julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.7.2
Commit bf53498635 (2022-02-06 15:21 UTC)
Platform Info:
  OS: macOS (x86_64-apple-darwin19.5.0)
  CPU: Apple M1 Max
  WORD_SIZE: 64
  LIBM: libopenlibm
  LLVM: libLLVM-12.0.1 (ORCJIT, westmere)
Environment:
  JULIA_NUM_THREADS = 1
  JULIA_EDITOR = code
  JULIA_NO_VERIFY_HOSTS = **.github.com

The version of git is:

shell> git --version
git version 2.32.0 (Apple Git-132)

Add I’ve add the following lines to .Julia/config/startup.jl


@eval Module() begin
    import NetworkOptions
    ENV["JULIA_NO_VERIFY_HOSTS"] = "**.github.com"
end

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

That is not the same error. Looks like you are using a socks5 proxy which I guess libgit2 doesn’t handle.

In Julia version 1.7 and above you can configure Pkg to use system git by setting the environment variable JULIA_PKG_USE_CLI_GIT=true. Perhaps you can try that?
