Answer 1

Retrofit homepage contains sample code that very similar to what you want:

public interface GitHubService {
  @GET("users/{user}/repos")
  Call<List<Repo>> listRepos(@Path("user") String user);
}

So, to insert username in URL you have to substitute part of URL with some name in curly braces and add corresponding parameter to method marked with @Path("<your parameter name>") annotation.

Answer 2

You can make a GET API call like this

GET /users/:username/repos

Check this out the official GIT api documentation.

Hope it helps you.
