+## Git Proxy
+
+A Git proxy can be configured by setting the appropriate environment variables
+for proxy configurations, for example `HTTPS_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY`, etc., in the
+source-controller pod. There may be some limitations in the proxy support based
+on the Git implementations.
+
+| Git Implementation | HTTP_PROXY | HTTPS_PROXY | NO_PROXY | Self-signed Certs |
+| ---                | ---        | ---         | ---      | ---               |
+| 'go-git'           | true       | true        | true     | false             |
+| 'libgit2'          | false      | true        | false    | true              |
+
+**NOTE:** libgit2 v1.2.0 supports `NO_PROXY`, but source-controller uses
+libgit2 v1.1.1 at the moment.
