Brave install errors on Pop_OS

EDIT/UPDATE – Apologies, but I have solved this issue. Apparently I wasn’t as exacting with the keystrokes as I thought. Brave is now installed and working perfectly. Sorry for wasting a topic!

Description of the issue:

When attempting to install Brave on Pop_OS 19.10, I get errors such as

E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-disco.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-disco.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

I followed along exactly with the guides and am still getting this error regardless of what I do. I’m assuming it’s something I’ve overlooked but I have checked every keystroke, they match exactly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

Follow along with the Brave guide to install Brave via terminal.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-disco.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-disco.list (Component)
