Select2 JQuery's AJAX Method from example is not working

I want to create a search input field using select2.js 4.0.5. I looked at the select2 example and basically, want to learn by recreating them without using the template result (only return text).

However, I cannot make it work. This is the closest I can get: myJSFiddle. 

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".js-data-example-ajax").select2({
    ajax: {
      url: "https://api.github.com/search/repositories",
      dataType: 'json',
      delay: 250,
      data: function(params) {
        return {
          q: params.term, // search term
          page: params.page
        };
      },
      processResults: function(data, params) {
        // parse the results into the format expected by Select2
        // since we are using custom formatting functions we do not need to
        // alter the remote JSON data, except to indicate that infinite
        // scrolling can be used
        params.page = params.page || 1;

        return {
          results: data.items,
          pagination: {
            more: (params.page * 30) < data.total_count
          }
        };
      },
      cache: true
    }
  });
});

Even copying directly everything from the example does not work: exampleJSFiddle.

I am still new to JS and Ajax. I'm sure that I'm missing something. Could someone please explain what am I missing?

I finally get it running. Although I don't know how to fix the size of the search box: (Working JSFiddle)

HTML

<select class="js-data-example-ajax"></select>

JS

$(".js-data-example-ajax").select2({
    ajax: {
      url: "https://api.github.com/search/repositories",
      contentType: 'application/json',
      dataType: 'json',
      data: function(params) {
        return {
          q: params.term, // search term
          page: params.page
        };
      },
      processResults: function(data) {
        return {
          results: data.items
        };
      },
      cache: false
    },
    templateResult: formatResult
  });

  function formatResult(result) {

    return result.full_name;
  };
