Cannot add a repository to give students starter code

[gmaratos]

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I am having issues with selecting the starter code repository for my assignment. My repository is in my organization. I switched it to a template repository and then enter the name of my repository in the "Find a GitHub Repository" bar but it says no repository found. This is not the first time I have done this and I think something changed recently because there seems to be some massive delay between the repository is created (or simply switched to template) and when I can select it in this "search bar"

I really should be able to just give GitHub the URL to the repository but it was never really a problem until the "Find a GitHub Repository" search bar developed this problem. I know there is no problem with my repository either because I set it up the same way as all my other repositories I can see all my previous homework assignments this semester.

It had appeared finally. It looks like it takes about 20-30 minutes from when the repository becomes a template. I don't consider this a resolved issue though as it seems to me like the search bar just kind of gets in the way when I am on a time crunch and there is no other way to select the template repository. I feel like it would be reasonable to just let us give a url to the template repository.
