I write a proxy in the %HomePath%\.gitconfig file:

[http]
    proxy = http://<Login>:<Password>@<Proxy>:<Port>

[https]
    proxy = https://<Login>:<Password>@<Proxy>:<Port>

It works fine, but it is unsafe. I don't want to write my password into text file. Can I tell to git to read a proxy settings from the default browser settings?

Sure: use an encrypted credential helper: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18362082/6309 – VonC Apr 06 '15 at 11:10
And the https proxy url is likely to use an http url, not an https one. – VonC Apr 06 '15 at 11:11
