jx: jx install: Unable to cloning of github repo when behind a proxy

Summary

I try to install jenkins x on a internal kubernetes cluster. The installation process require to clone the Jenkins X cloud environments repo from Github. Unfortunately Github is only available via enterprise proxy and I do not figure out how to get that working

I can define a the HTTP_PROXY environment variable but then all traffic is routed via proxy, means there is no connection to the internal kubernetes cluster anymore.

The git client on my host is configured as follows:

http.https://github.com/.proxy=http://:@proxy.intra:8080
http.https://github.com/.sslbackend=schannel
http.https://github.com/.sslverify=false

I would like to know how I can tell the jx install process to route traffic for github.com via the proxy.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Run

jx install --provider=kubernetes --on-premise --skip-ingress --git-provider-url=https://scm.intra --git-username=userxyz

Jx version

The output of jx version is:

NAME               VERSION
jx                 1.3.594
Kubernetes cluster v1.11.3
kubectl            v1.11.0
helm client        v2.9.1+g20adb27
helm server        v2.11.0+g2e55dbe
git                git version 2.17.1.windows.2
