I have used contributing kibana guide and opened kibana in offline development environment. I have made changes to core kibana and plugin i have created in kibana-extra folder. Now i want to build kibana for deployment. i have tried `yarn build` but due to offline environment it got fail with some git error , it seems it needs some version control from git. How can i build kibana again? what should i do? Thanks in advance. ---

There are some issues building for all platforms, you can do build with the "--skip-os-packages" flag. That should work. ---
