Cannot run credstash due to not having permissions on credstash.log

[farhad-taran]

hello,

I have installed credstash on WSL 2 on windows and I am not able to run it due to my user not having permissions on the credstash.log file.

I have tried to change the permissions using sudo but that failed too.

I want to know if there is a workaround for this, maybe changing the log file location or a way to add permissions.
