However it doe

Answer 1

For what it's worth adding to the discussion... what I did that ended up helping me... Since the pipeline is run within a workspace within a docker image that is cleaned up each time it runs. I grabbed the credentials needed to perform necessary operations on the repo within my pipeline and stored them in a .netrc file. this allowed me to authorize the git repo operations successfully.

withCredentials([usernamePassword(credentialsId: '', passwordVariable: 'GIT_PASSWORD', usernameVariable: 'GIT_USERNAME')]) {
    sh '''
        printf "machine github.com\nlogin $GIT_USERNAME\n password $GIT_PASSWORD" >> ~/.netrc
        // continue script as necessary working with git repo...
    '''
}
