initial commit fails

[shawngraham]

Hi,

I'm using this with my class; thank you!

Some students are reporting that the generate from template fails on the initial commit. I just replicated for myself, and in the log I find:

remote: Permission to shawngraham/demo-hist1900-try3.git denied to github-actions[bot].

We can fix this by going to settings -> actions -> general, and then scrolling down to Workflow Permissions, and giving actions read and write permission, and permission to create and approve pull requests.

I think something must've changed at Github requiring this? I tested this all out before my class started last week and this wasn't necessary.
