Seems you cannot do that. The name .git is hard-coded in the source code: https://github.com/git/git/blob/fe9122a35213827348c521a16ffd0cf2652c4ac5/dir.c#L1260

Probably one way is to make a script which renames .git to something else and back before and after adding it into repo like

In working directory under scripts

mv .git hidden-git

In Dockerfile

RUN mv $JENKINS_HOME/scriptler/scripts/hidden-git     
$JENKINS_HOME/scriptler/scripts/.git

Alternatively, probably it's possible to pass GIT_DIR environment variable into the plugin, so it could use another name.
