I interrogated to see that jQuery is indeed installed, because I like shortcuts when I'm doing examples.

I then tested $.getJSON('//api.github.com/users/jcolebrand/repos',{},function(data){console.log(data)}) exactly from the API page, as it says, and lo and behold, I was granted the five repos I see for myself.

Here are the things I have not done: I did not acquire an API key, I did not work via API, and I used my existing credentials. Keep those things in mind, but that's how to improve it going forward.
