Tried giving it both my Github user name as well as the URL to my Github profile. It "couldn't find the repo" in both cases. :/

It wants it in the format username/repo, not just username. So for example, rkuykendall/Simplici7y or moneypenny/GithubFacebook

I took that to mean "username or repo".

Yeah, that happened to me on the first couple of tries. I parsed the '/' as meaning 'or', but of course it means a slash, here.
