Builds are all derived from the monorepo, but git makes sense for development as they have to constantly merge upstream git commits.

Prodkernel is not in the monorepo - it's in a separate git repo and uses it's own systems for building and qualifying new releases.

There is a system for using git* in conjunction with the monorepo that some developers use, but that system has nothing to do with the prodkernel.

* there is also a similar system for using mecurial with the monorepo that some folks love.
