by the way, i once was able to tether a VPN hotspot to latptop by changing my proxy settings using Settings/Network & Internet/Proxy. I was able to access GitHub via browser but couldnāt pull push, clone: actually i couldnāt access git operations in terminal that require internet connection.
In the meantime, Hiding behind a vpn lets you accomplish your operations

Another thing to be aware of is if you cloned repos using SSH (something like, e.g. git clone git@github.com:openmrs/openmrs-module-coreapps.git), then when you try to use push / pull / etc. it will run over port 22 and traffic over port 22 might be blocked. You can switch to using HTTP instead of SSH by using the command:
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-coreapps.git
(origin in the above command should be substituted for whatever you named the corresponding remote; note the translation of GitHub SSH URLs to GitHub HTTP URLs goes git@github.com:<OWNER>/<REPO>.git ā https://github.com/<OWNER>/<REPO>.git).
Once you have your Git repo setup to use HTTP, you can configure Git to use a HTTP proxy following the instructions here: Configure Git to use a proxy Ā· GitHub. Since HTTP traffic is less likely to be blocked than SSH traffic and easier to run over a proxy, you might have a better time accessing GitHub repos using this technique.

PS You might similarly need to setup NPM to use an HTTP proxy, which at least for system-installed NPM can be done by running:
npm config set proxy <PROXY_URL>
npm config set https-proxy <PROXY_URL>

Wow! thanks @ibacher this is great. it means I can change the proxy used by the git terminal. You are really a genius
