Git Bash

Git Bash bundles Git with a minimal Unix-style shell for Windows. Scrapers use Git Bash to:

  • Version-control scraping code.
  • Run cURL or wget commands with proxy flags:
curl -x socks5h://gateway.proxied.com:1080 https://example.com

The socks5h:// prefix forces DNS via Proxied, masking target lookups as well as HTTP traffic.
