I'm intended to build a live and interactive COVID-19 dashboard using the John Hopkins GitHub repo data. I'm newbie to Tableau. If there is any way to connect the data and auto refresh let me know. It mean a lot to me.
GitHub repo : https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data
Yes, you have to select the files that you want to use in your dashboard and find the URL of raw files on GitHub.
For example, the GitHub page URL https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv will become https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv
Now that you have the URL of raw files just follow this guide.
