Proxy support seems to have regressed

[itsananderson]

There's an old closed issue #148 where someone reported problems installing dugite behind a proxy. The recommended solution was to set HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY which is also documented in the environment variable docs. It seems, however, that when dugite migrated away from requests, those environment variables stopped having any effect.

Now that dugite is using the raw https module, it looks like the easiest solution might be to add global-agent as a dependency and use it inside download-git.js. Here's how @electron/get uses global-agent, for example.

If that solution makes sense (or if you can suggest another solution you'd prefer), I'd be happy to submit a PR.

It make sense, I'd like to see a PR to add global-agent : )

Hi, that would be great, because in my case it is blocking Electron update.

For whom ran into this issue,

cd /tmp && wget https://github.com/desktop/dugite-native/releases/download/v2.39.1/dugite-native-v2.39.1-6e9b509-ubuntu.tar.gz

should help the post install script to use the downloaded cache
