Not sure why it does not allow me to save this file. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Have you tried these?
If you are in group staff try something like
sudo chmod g+wIf you don't belong to any then try something like
sudo chmod 0+w
If you don't know these they give you permission to write something in directory.
There are other options like chown, su etc... but try above first.

17,615 PointsDone. it was the permission for the group that had to be set to write. thanks.
– It is interesting that the ownership of these files has been inherently when I cloned the repo and some of them are arbitrarily set to root and others to user. I wonder how the standards and guidelines on these were decided. I think in src everything by standard is set to root.
