Adding Google Analytics to HTML code error

I'm trying to insert Google Analytics into my code via the HTML route. I have correctly created an Analytics account, configured my website to my Webmasters account, and have committed the changes onto my site. I also made sure to leave the Analytics code untouched to the point where I even left the line-spacing alone. The following snippet is the code in my HTML head (as I understand I am meant to do).

<head>
...
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-65362973-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>
</head>

However, my site is a Github affair. Is it possible that this is the issue? Or am I missing a step that is less than immediately obvious? Any assistance very much appreciated!

This is directly from the documentation. My personal experience is 24 hours for a small site. If you see data in the real-time reports its working. If its a brand new site it can take 48-72 hours to show data. Other wise the following is true

Data processing latency

Processing latency is 24-48 hours. Standard accounts that send more than 200,000 sessions per day to Google Analytics will result in the reports being refreshed only once a day. This can delay updates to reports and metrics for up to two days. To restore intra-day processing, reduce the number of sessions you send to < 200,000 per day. For Premium accounts, this limit is extended to 2 billion hits per month.
