Authenticating to GitHub Packages

To access the GitHub packages repository, you also need to set up GitHub credentials in your Maven's settings.xml file. Therefore, you need to add a server block with the id github, your username and an access token that has package:read rights to your setting.xml. An in-depth documentation on how to do this can be found here.
