I ran into this today. So annoying. I kept getting "Please check that the PPA name or format is correct." This error message is so misleading... The Internet is littered with people working around the "add-apt-repository" script since no one can really figure out the real reason for this error message.

In my case, I was running this script in a container and had the Docker DNS in Fedora 32 issue.
