Description

I am having issues authenticating through my GAME server.

git pull
Authenticating...Succeeded
Querying remote for config...Succeeded
Configured cache server: None (repourlhere)
Fetching commits and trees from origin (no cache server)...Succeeded
fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:
asked for: https://repourlhere/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
redirect: https://auth here

I have set proxy settings and with passwords and still cannot seem to get this to succeed.
