unpxy

Run commands without proxy environment variables.

Why?

Proxy settings (http_proxy, https_proxy, all_proxy, etc.) sometimes interfere with tools that connect to local services, internal mirrors, or GitHub.
unpxy temporarily unsets these variables for a single command, leaving your shell environment unchanged.

Why not just unset manually?

If you run unset http_proxy directly in your shell, the proxy is removed for the rest of the session.
unpxy confines the effect to a single command, so you don’t have to remember to re‑export your proxy variables afterwards.

Installation

Clone the repository and source the script in your .bashrc / .zshrc:

git clone https://github.com/0xA672/unpxy.git
echo "source $PWD/unpxy/unpxy.sh" >> ~/.zshrc   # or ~/.bashrc

Or simply copy the function into your shell config manually.

Fish Shell

Fish users should use unpxy.fish:

# Add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish
source /path/to/unpxy.fish

Usage

unpxy <any-command>

How it works

• Creates a subshell (using parentheses)
• Unsets common proxy variables in that subshell
• Executes your command with exec "$@"
• After the command finishes, the subshell exits and your parent shell keeps its original proxy settings
