 Each of these _source_s `MUST` be a valid Rubygems repository. Sources are

-### PRIVATE REPOSITORIES
+### CREDENTIALS (#credentials)
 
-To access private repositories you can use `bundle config` to set user and
-password on a per source basis.
+Some gem sources require a username and password. Use `bundle config` to set
+the username and password for any sources that need it. The command must be run
+once on each computer that will install the Gemfile, but this keeps the
+credentials from being stored in plain text in version control.
 
     bundle config https://gems.example.com/ user:password
 
-As alternative you can provide credentials directly in the source URI.
+For some sources, like a company Gemfury account, it may be easier to simply
+include the credentials in the Gemfile as part of the source URL.
 
     source "https://user:passowrd@gems.example.com"
