The following variables perform no function outside of bitbake:
GIT_CONFIG
GIT_PROXY_HOST
GIT_PROXY_PORT
GIT_PROXY_IGNORE
GIT_CONFIG only affects the git-config command which is not relevant to
the fetcher. This was previously used with the OE GIT_CORE_CONFIG
variable which would provide a basic git config to use instead of the
user's config. This usage was deprecated by git for over a year now:
http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Overriding-gitconfig-using-GIT-CONFIG-td6680977
GIT_PROXY_HOST and GIT_PROXY_PORT are not used by git.
GIT_PROXY_IGNORE was an OE construct used to create the custom git
config and had no meaning outside of the OE environment. It is not used
by git.
Remove these variables from the fetcher environment.
Users wishing to configure git to work with a proxy should define the
GIT_PROXY_COMMAND environment variable to use an external script.
NO_PROXY can be used within this script to skip the proxy for certain
hosts.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
