GitHub Hooks: Add a Hook to GitHub - Webhook address missing a trailing / in the address
In the section where it is explained about adding a Webhook address to GitHub Webhooks > Add Webhook page, there is a typo in the Address we need to paste in the Payload URL text field of Github Add Webhook page.
The suggested URL over there is http://JenkinsURLHere:8080/github-webhook
The correct URL should have a trailing slash in it. It should be http://JenkinsURLHere:8080/github-webhook/
If we do not add a trailing slash to the address, then we get a HTTP 302 and the browser redirects the request and the build doesn't trigger.
The screenshot of the incorrect URL is

I would like to add the Stack Overflow link here which actually helped me fix my issue - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49848884/github-webhook-with-jenkins-return-302-found

Hi @Shivinder, thank you for flagging this. I am awaiting confirmation on the change from the course author, and once I have it I will update it. There is no need to tag me, as I get notifications on incoming posts.
