I am getting the following error while creating a new Angular project using Angular CLI.
ng new <project-name>

This could be because I am behind a corporate proxy. So I tried editing npm config file.
I used npm config set proxy http://proxyhostname:proxyport and npm config set https-proxy http://proxyhostname:proxyport.
But still, I was facing the same issue. When I opened the npm config file using npm config edit, I realised that the above commands for proxy settings are just adding two lines at the top of the npm config file but below it still has proxy=null and https-proxy=null. So I tried editing the file manually. Changed proxy=null to proxy=http://proxyhostname:proxyport and https-proxy=null to https-proxy=http://proxyhostname:proxyport. I didn't get any error while saving it but when I opened the file again with npm config edit I see that my manual changes are not present. Is there any step that I am missing to manually change the npm config file? Also, suggest if there is a different solution to the problem (mentioned above) I am facing.
