Tampermonkey script not auto-updating

Question

At the top of my script I have the following:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Test script
// @description  testing auto-update
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @author       newbie
// @version      1.0.0
// @updateURL    https://github.com/mygithubaccount/test/raw/master/test.user.js
// @downloadURL  https://github.com/mygithubaccount/test/raw/master/test.user.js
// @match        http://awebsite.com/*
// @run-at       document-end
// @grant        GM_getResourceText
// @grant        GM_addStyle
// @grant        GM_xmlhttpRequest
// @grant        GM_getResourceURL
// @grant        GM_xmlhttpRequest
// ==/UserScript==

Please note that these values are just for example.

When I make changes on the script and increase the version number on github and then push the changes to master it updates the raw script link, however I don't get auto-updates from Tampermonkey as in popups saying the script has an update. It will only update if I manually go to the link and reinstall the script to update it.

How can I make this auto-update with popups?

I am not an expert at userscripts, can only tell from my experience making TamperMonkey work:

In order for TamperMonkey to update, I had to copy&paste the URL into Update URL: on the script's Settings tab:

(Make sure ☒ Check for updates is turned on, obviously.)

Then if you manually Check for userscript updates on the TamperMonkey icon, you should see a proper popup.
