Body

maven {
        url = 'https://maven.pkg.github.com/my-releases'
        credentials {
            username = ''
            password = System.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN")
        }
    }

If username is blank, as in the example above, the repository will still be imported normally.
Maybe we are not using username ?

username is not required when using the GitHub Packages Maven repository. The username is only required if you are using a private repository. In your case, the repository is public, so the username is not required.

The username is used to authenticate with the GitHub Packages repository. When you set the username to an empty string, Maven will use the anonymous credentials to authenticate with the repository. The anonymous credentials are sufficient for public repositories.

for me this didn't work ? any suggestions please ?

When using a private repository, authentication is still possible with an empty username and PAT for the password.
