Hey there, I'm trying out this feature but struggling to make it work. In the "Github As Source Logs" section, I see: "403 Forbidden" but so far I can't tell why it's doing that, and I haven't found anything on the web either. Did anyone hit this?

[Ayodele Samuel Adebayo](https://hashnode.com/@unclebigbay) hi, I think I figured it out…

At first, I wrote a wrong entry for publishedAs (I included @ at the beginning), and I guess that’s why it was refused. Then even if I edited that, it still didn’t work. Finally, I merged a new file to GitHub that had the right publishedAs from the get go, and it worked.

That's great! [Felix GV](https://hashnode.com/@felixgv) Glad you're able to figure it out now and thanks for getting back.
