GitHub App Data Refresh Failure

HI All!
I am exploring Power BI and following step by step training.  I downloaded the GitHub app for Power BI.  It successfully installed with its notional Microsoft repository data and dashboard.  At the top, it provided a link where I could configure my own repo.  I followed the configuration/OAuth dialogues, which I have ensured had correct information.  The app goes through a refresh cycle, then returns to its original state.  The app is not updated, and does not provide any other error details.  I know the two entities are talking to each other, as GitHub sends out an alert that PowerBi is attempting to access the repo.  

 

Thanks!

Thank You @Fowmy for quickly answering my question.  I see I didn't follow directions precisely.  From clicking around, I found this error message that gave me a clue that I had entered the full URL and it wasn't needed.

Indeed that turned out to be the case:
