I am behind a corporate proxy, zScaler, which has caused issues with NPM/Yarn/Git in the past. However, we resolved these issues by setting the cafile NPM config property.

I've also set Git http.sslVerify to false.

Any ideas?

@rssfrncs You are likely hitting #86 which we are working through. Would you mind if we moved your feedback into that issue to consolidate feedback?

One thing you can try is setting HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables globally. However, we're still working through fixes here due to VS Code not passing along proxy information (microsoft/vscode#12588)

Merging in with #86 which appears to be the same issue.
