Thank you for your first contribution. Could you please provide a bit more details, what is that you're trying to accomplish, is there an underlying issue here we can follow for more details?

somewhere cannot direct access github.com. when using a proxy, Failed to fetch diff. the reason is this react native cli do not use system env HTTP_PROXY to create proxy.

Thanks.

I think that there are a few more factors beyond HTTP_PROXY that we should factor in and unfortunately, node-fetch has no support for it out of the box.

request, on the other hand, does have built-in support for various env variables.

I think it would be quite trivial to change to request, given that we're just using it to fetch a JSON and do not even take advantage of any other library specific features.

What do you think?

Let's stick to custom implementation, as in the PR.
