If there is no Git on an endpoint which is used for build, what can be done? Let's checkout files on Local instance (FlexDeploy) then copy it to the endpoint.

The instructions assume that DEV is the environment Code that you are trying to build from. If you use another, then please use that instead.

Instructions

Create Local instance.
Map Local instance to DEV environment.
Make sure to map LOCALHOST endpoint to LOCAL - DEV environment instance.

Here is workflow code.
