Hi,
Sorry for the confusion! The instructions were based on the idea that the ordinary git client will prompt for a username and password as needed. Did this not happen in your case?

FYI I just added a 'Show Example' button that hopefully clarifies.

It did not happen in my case because I knew about username and password encoding in urls, took the instructions as implying that it was desired, and then took the steps to encode the username and password in the url, thus removing the need for anything to ask for it. I wasn't aware that git would handle HTTP BASIC auth automatically if the username and password weren't supplied.
I think the new "Show Example" is a better solution to this documentation problem than my proposed one. :)
