What's Wrong?

I am using Claude Code in Desktop.
When I try to push my commits I get the below error. It went on a loop pushing commits and consumed all my usage limits along with some extra usage that I have enabled.
the local HTTP proxy at 127.0.0.1:37330 isn't running, /debug confirmed the proxy process failure, and that restarts haven't resolved it.
What's happening: The environment uses a local HTTP proxy (local_proxy@127.0.0.1) for git authentication. This proxy process is not running or not listening on its assigned port, so git cannot authenticate to push.
Already tested -

  • Removing HTTPS and Global Proxy
  • Git installed correctly
  • Ports are available
  • Logging out and logging back in completely
  • Deleting VM module

What Should Happen?

Be able to use claude code in desktop without errors when pushing commits.
Recover the lost usage
