If you’re interested in getting some basic information about Git, surely you already know about the Git Community Book – it’s undoubtedly a source of great knowledge.

Sometimes, there is a need to use SOCKS Proxy for connection even if an application itself isn’t providing such feature. If you’re working on Windows you can use FreeCap which allows you to put your applications into FreeCap “sandbox”. Everytime you run app from this “sandbox” it is sent through the SOCKS proxy you set [...]
