Initial configuration workflow fails - can't complete exercise

[danielmeppiel]

Hi there!

When trying to run this exercise and following the instructions, I noticed that no commit history was generated on my new repo. The workflow "Initial commit" failed to run successfully with a 403 Error: No write permissions on the repository.

Once I change the Actions read-only default permissions on the repo (as seen below) to read and write, and re-run the workflow, the exercise was correctly initialized:

Perhaps updating the instructions should be enough of a fix?

+1 I also had this problem. The linked PR is not a fix - as @danielmeppiel says, the instructions need updating to tell you to change the workflow permissions in the repository settings

I've created a PR to fix the documentation, feedback on wording welcome:#19
