What's Wrong?
Description
The local git proxy service at 127.0.0.1:25968 is not running in the Claude Code remote container environment, preventing any git push operations to GitHub.
Environment
- Platform: Claude Code (Web / Remote Container)
- Date: December 6, 2025
- Session ID: session_01GCrM6D2t3FgicpyqZnNvwH
What Should Happen?
Expected Behavior
Git push should route through the local proxy at 127.0.0.1:25968, which handles GitHub authentication, and successfully push commits to the remote repository.
Error Messages/Logs
### Actual Behavior
$ git push -u origin main fatal: unable to access 'http://local_proxy@127.0.0.1:25968/git/...': Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 25968 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server
### Diagnostic Information
**Port 25968 status:**
$ netstat -tlnp | grep 25968
# No output - port is not listening
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code and connect to a remote container
- Create or modify files in a git repository
- Commit changes locally (works fine)
- Attempt to push to GitHub using
git push -u origin main

Is this a regression?
Yes, this worked in a previous version
Last Working Version
_No response_
Claude Code Version
2.0.50 (Claude Code)
Platform
Anthropic API
Operating System
Windows
Terminal/Shell
PowerShell
Additional Information
Environment proxy configuration:
HTTP_PROXY is set to 21.0.0.209:15004 (Anthropic egress proxy - working)
CCR_TEST_GITPROXY=1 is set
Git remote was originally configured to use http://local_proxy@127.0.0.1:25968/git/...
Attempted workarounds:
Changed remote URL to direct GitHub (https://github.com/...) → Failed due to no GitHub authentication
Reinstalled Claude Code Desktop → No effect (issue is server-side)
Cleared cache and restarted session → No effect
Analysis
The architecture appears to be:
21.0.0.209:15004 - Anthropic egress proxy for general HTTP traffic (working)
127.0.0.1:25968 - Local git proxy for GitHub authentication (NOT running)
The git proxy service that should be running inside the container at port 25968 is not started, making it impossible to authenticate with GitHub for push operations.
Impact
Cannot push any code changes to GitHub
Blocks collaborative development workflows
All commits remain local only
Additional Context
Local git operations (add, commit, status, log) work fine
The issue persists across multiple sessions
Other users may be experiencing the same issue (server-side infrastructure problem)
Requested Action
Please investigate and restart the git proxy service at 127.0.0.1:25968 in the Claude Code remote container environment.
