Installation on windows behind a proxy fails

[papanito]

What happened?

I currently have to use Windows Server and hence MINGW64. In addition, I am sitting behine a corporate proxy. So gitconfig is configured to use the proxy for outoing connections. Plus, as we also have self-signe certificates which are in the credentials store of the Windows host, the sslBackend has to be configured accordingly. So my .gitconfig looks like this:

[http "https://github.com"]
    proxy = http://:@webproxy.intra:8888
[http "https://git.savannah.gnu.org"]
    proxy = http://:@webproxy.intra:8888
sslBackend = schannel

However the installation fails

What did you expect to happen?

I expect it to download related stuff and install goes without any issue

Steps to reproduce

1.Install emacs using chocolatey

choco install emacs.install

2. Clone [doomemacs] and trigger installation

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install

This fails with

Remarks

I am totally new to emacs and lisp, I am currently reading trough the docu to find some indication what I might missing.

Doom intentionally ignores system git config. To bypass this, set DOOMGITCONFIG to the location of the git config file you want it to use.

DOOMGITCONFIG=~/.config/git/config doom sync

[papanito]

Thanks for the hint, so I tried that.

DOOMGITCONFIG=~/.gitconfig doom install

I still get the same error. In the error message I see gnutls-verify-error. Not sure if I understand what happens there, but I suspect it tries to use http if the https verification fails. As http will not work, mabye there is an issue with the cert? So I though, maybe it works if I follow the suggestion from this blog. So I explicitly add the cert.pem containing the self-signed certificates into ~/.doom.d/init.el as follows

(require 'gnutls)
(add-to-list 'gnutls-trustfiles "~/cert.pem")

However I still get the same error as above.

[papanito]

What I had to do is go to c:/Users/papanito/.emacs.d/.local/straight/ and do a git pull origin master. After that, DOOMGITCONFIG=~/.gitconfig doom install worked like a charm.

Still after starting emacs, I get an error

Error (user-package): Failed to parse package consult-dir: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, bind-key
