i've got a problem when i trying to config http proxy for git in Bash
with username and password which includes some special chars such as '@',
can you give me some advice?

example cmd: `git config http.proxy http://username:123@456@proxyserver:port` ,

the password is "123@456" in this example.

thanks for your efforts, and look forward to your reply.

Try encoding them as they encodes in http urls, e.g. %20 - ' ', %40 - '@'

Indeed, URL-encoding the special characters should work. In the above-mentioned example:

git config http.proxy http://username:123%40456@proxyserver:port
