Important

Please note that code reviews and merges will be delayed during our quiet period in December and might not happen until January.
Dugite frequently fails on install/downloading, etc https://github.com/electron/electron/actions/runs/20136412651/job/57793888145?pr=49193#step:11:391.

This PR removes dugite as a dependency and replaces it with direct calls to git which should be installed on CI already.
