If you can install git on the endpoint, that's the easiest, but sometimes company policy doesn't allow installing things on endpoints.
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.
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.
