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!
Solved! Go to Solution.

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:
Rookie mistake!!
Now fixed-Thanks!
