So maybe this is expected. Another possibility is that your .gitlab-ci.yml might launch scripts writing into those files, like the before_script.sh script that is described on: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50553049/is-it-possible-to-do-a-git-push-within-a-gitlab-ci-without-ssh Could you also check which credential helper and which options are used? For example with commands like: $ git config -l --show-origin | grep -i cred $ git config -l --show-origin | grep -i http $ git config -l --show-origin | grep -i askpass $ env | grep -i askpass
