You should not use the full path to a library on the first page. The default value (https://github.com/KiCad) is fine, the wizard will acquire the list of available libraries and let you pick ones you want.

Ahh ok. That was not entirely clear to the user.

I suggest having a button to reset it the the KIGITHUB variable, becasue if changed it will rember that one, which is a good feature. But a button to reset to the env var would be nice too.

Some hardening of the URL input field could be nice too.
