Hi there!
If searched a lot and everywhere i found the same information...
when i want to set a http-proxy for git, the configuration goes to
~/.gitconfig
```
[http]
proxy = http://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:1234
```
So the proxy password is in cleartext written down to the config-file.
The git own password-store can not be used... even no external like pass.
For aliases i can set something like
```
[alias]
blafoo = "!f() {do something on shell}; f"
```
But this does not work for proxy-settings.
There should be a mechanism to read a password or the credentials from
the shell in proxy-settings. Something like bash-subshell-construct.
```
[http]
proxy = http://$(pass show key|grep login):$(pass show key|head
-n1)@proxy.dings.bums:1234
```
or
```
[http]
proxy = "!u() {pass show key|grep login}; !p() {pass show key|head
-n1}; http://u:p@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:1234";
```
This would close the security-hole of cleartext-credentials in
config-files...
thank you
Jakob
