Notes

This is likely due to needing to use the proxy server to connect to the web. According to a quick google, reqwest should respect the env var if it's set.

Looks like git2 will use the git config to pull the proxy info but git itself doesn't need to have the config set, it'll pull from the env vars as well.

I guess this is an edge case but do you have any ideas on how I can get around it?

Thanks for the excellent and detailed bug report, @davised!

It seems like git2 was defaulting to GIT_PROXY_NONE. I've changed it to GIT_PROXY_AUTO, so it will now correctly
auto-detect the proxy settings from your Git config and environment variables.

This fix will be included in the v3.1.0 release. Thanks again for your help!

Also, I forgot to mention that you can import a tldr file directly:

intelli-shell import https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/pages/common/tar.md

But those commands will be imported to your user namespace, instead of the isolated tldr namespace, so you can't filter them out with the user_only config/toggle.

Thanks!
