Mention new permission requirements in usage docs
Starting February 2nd 2023, GitHub changed the default permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN to be read-only in all new repositories.[1] git-auto-commits needs `write`-permissions for the `contents`-key in order to work properly. This commits updates the usage section, to mention the need for the permission requirements. The examples have also been updated to reflect that change.

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following step at the end of your job, after other steps that might add or change files.
|
||||
Adding git-auto-commit to your Workflow only takes a couple lines of code.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Set the `contents`-permission of the default GITHUB_TOKEN to `true`. (Required to push new commits to the repository)
|
||||
2. Add the following step at the end of your job, after other steps that might add or change files.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the Action has to be used in a Job that runs on a UNIX system (e.g. `ubuntu-latest`).
|
||||
If you don't use the default permission of the GITHUB_TOKEN, give the Job or Workflow at least the `contents: write` permission.
|
||||
Your Workflow should look similar to this example.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: Format
|
||||
|
||||
on: push
|
||||
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
format-code:
|
||||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||
|
||||
permissions:
|
||||
# Give the default GITHUB_TOKEN write permission to commit and push the
|
||||
# updated CHANGELOG back to the repository.
|
||||
contents: write
|
||||
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
|
||||
# Other steps that change files in the repository
|
||||
|
||||
# Commit all changed files back to the repository
|
