Unable to run git command (with ~/.bashrc modified)

Question

I'm using powershell in Windows to clone a repository to an on-premise Ubuntu GPU environment (specifically, NVIDIA-DGX). After successfully ssh, I followed instructions and added the following codes at the end part of ~/.bashrc:

# Enable https clone in dgx
export https_proxy=
export http_proxy=

After that I ran the following commands:

git config --global credential.helper cache`
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=2592000'
Initialize git lfs
git lfs install
Clone respository
git clone <HTTPS_GIT_URL>

However, the expected prompt asking for username and password didn't show and powershell simply didn't react, the situation is like this:

Is it because the http_proxy filed should not be null? Or the git commands are wrong? Thx.

Are the https_proxy and http_proxy supposed to be set to something? That export will actually do nothing. If you run echo $https_proxy after that command it will return nothing. — Terrance, May 07 '21 at 13:24
Where did you get these commands? They're either broken or badly formatted. — muru, May 07 '21 at 13:51
... in particular, the unmatched backtick in the first git config command is dropping your shell to the PS2 prompt. See for example What mode does the terminal go into when I type a single quote? — steeldriver, May 07 '21 at 14:30
@steeldriver submit an answer. You just answered completely in your comment... maybe (doubtful, but who knows) it'll get accepted — Nate T, May 08 '21 at 05:03
@steeldriver A big thanks to you! Just found that it's due to backstick. — 60221611, May 08 '21 at 05:19

Thanks steeldriver for pointing out the problem of backtick on the comment.

Yes, after removing the line:

git config --global credential.helper cache`

The problem is solved.

Actually, I have found that this line is even not necessary given I already have:

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=2592000'
