POM repository infromation from GitHub

Question

I am trying to host my artifacts on GitHub. I am able to push them following this article: Hosting a Maven repository on github

But now I want to get the artifact in another project and try to add all information in my POM file.

POM.XML

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

             </plugin>
         </plugins>
     </build>
 </project>

I have a settings.xml file with my login credentials

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>github</id>
      <username>[USERNAME]</username>
      <password>[API_TOKEN]</password>
      <configuration>
        <httpHeaders>
          <property>
            <name>Authorization</name>
            <!-- Base64-encoded username:access_token -->
            <value>Basic [BASE64USERNAME:PASSWORD]==</value>
          </property>
        </httpHeaders>
      </configuration>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

The settings.xml is working for the push of the artifact. But when I try to download it in another project I am getting: \[ERROR\] Failed to execute goal on project db-service: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.playground:db-service:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.fooditsolutions:Util:jar:1.0 in github (https://github.com/%5C%5C%5C%5BORGANISATION%5C%5C%5C%5D/%5C%5C%5C%5BPROJECT%5C%5C%5C%5D/raw/%5C%5C%5C%5BBRANCH%5C%5C%5C%5D/) -\> \[Help 1\]

I have already tried different URL's.

I have also tried to set the project as public.

Adding extra information in settings.xml

All these things did not help... .

After a good night sleep and some more testing I found the URL that was working. Also I saw I was testing with data that was inconsistent.

The URL is: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[ORGANISATION]/[Repository name]/mvn-repo/

The artifact I was trying to fetch was a version 1.0-SNAPSHOT . During the build, the SNAPSHOT is translated in a timestamp making that my dependancy had to be

<dependency>
             <groupId>com.fooditsolutions</groupId>
             <artifactId>Util</artifactId>
             <version>1.0.-20230308.203114-2</version>
         </dependency>

instead of

<dependency>
             <groupId>com.fooditsolutions</groupId>
             <artifactId>Util</artifactId>
             <version>1.0.-SNAPSHOT</version>
         </dependency>
