Potential fix for https://github.com/zoola969/py-cashier/security/code-scanning/2
To fix the issue, we will add a
permissionsblock at the root level of the workflow. This block will define the minimal permissions required for the workflow to function. Based on the steps in the workflow, it appears that the workflow only needs read access to the repository contents. Therefore, we will setcontents: readas the permission.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
