When I type mvnw deploy I get the error -

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.8.2:deploy (default-deploy) on project SecuritySpringBootContracts: Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact com.sagar:SecuritySpringBootContracts:jar:0.0.3 from/to contracts (https://maven.pkg.github.com/sagarnayak/SecuritySpringBootContracts): transfer failed for https://maven.pkg.github.com/sagarnayak/SecuritySpringBootContracts/com/sagar/SecuritySpringBootContracts/0.0.3/SecuritySpringBootContracts-0.0.3.jar, status: 422 Unprocessable Entity

Any suggestion is appreciated.

it's really not recommended to post your passwords in your questions (or anywhere) — Mor Blau, Sep 30 '21 at 12:49
@MorBlau really appreciate the suggestion. The password is not correct it's truncated so I think it's safe with a wrong password. — Sagar Nayak, Sep 30 '21 at 13:18

As mentioned in this issue Publishing GitHub Packages returns 422 error
the cause appears to be the name of your maven artifact, it must be lowercase.

In your pom.xml, use for example <artifactId>security-springboot-contracts</artifactId> instead of <artifactId>SecuritySpringBootContracts</artifactId>

The snapshot version which got created during startup of an application is wrong, it should be similar to like 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

Ex: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT or 0.0.3-SNAPSHOT

in your case it got created with 0.0.3
