If you're experimenting, use `git config --global credential.helper 'store'` to set git to store your credentials in a plain-text file. Then (if you're on GitHub), generate a personal access token (https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-fo...), and then use that as the password - once you've entered it once, it should be stored and not prompted for again.

Please remember how insecure this is.

"file:///"-based URLs also appear to work. Clone your private repo and point Hound at your local clone.
