Clone Gitlab repo without password

Is there a way I can allow others to clone source via http from a public repo I'm hosting without requiring a password?

It currently prompts for a password which fails if I try to do http://username:password@<repolocation>.git, so people are having to set up SSH keys just to clone the source.

Is there a better way to do this? I'm fairly new to git & gitlab so I'm not really sure where to look.

Thanks in advance.

This was puzzling to me. I had to set two settings: the Project visibility (Public) and the Repository access (changed to "Everyone with access").

Since GitLab 6.2, it should be possible; since you can define a project as "public", like those GitLab public project.

That was recently completed (October 2013) in this feedback request.
