Unable to add URL as source for extensions

Command Line Interface (CLI)
1

Hi :wave: I have been very excited about some of the features the PyRevit CLI has to offer, among adding additional extension sources. As outlined in the wiki, one could either pass a path or url as source.
However, I can’t seem to be able to add a URL as source. Not as the example given, nor with a custom URL. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known limitation?

pyrevit extensions sources add "https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevit/blob/master/extensions/extensions.json"

Thrown error in the CLI:

Error: The given path's format is not supported. (System.NotSupportedException)
