[jira] [Commented] (CB-12398) Update users guide to document which
application artifacts to include/exclude from git
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12398?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16116288#comment-16116288 ]
Jan Piotrowski commented on CB-12398:
-------------------------------------
One additional thing then would be to suggest _how_ to version `/platforms`. One could a) remove it from .gitignore or b) create another git repo inside it and version that independently.
[I am for b) as it combines the goal of Cordova of ot having to worry about it with the practicability of having a repo with the details. (Note that Cordova CLI currently doesn't like `.git` folders and fails for many actions).]

> In https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/cli/index.html ("Create your first Cordova app") it is not clear which artifacts should or should not be committed in git or other source code control systems. This can lead to lots of confusion. We know that in general the developer should use the --save flag when adding all plugins/platforms and then exclude these artifacts from git. But this is not at all clear to new users and I have seen too many projects with old plugins/platforms artifacts included.
> We know that part of the right solution in CB-12008 (autosave plugins/platforms by default in cordova@7) is in progress. I also raised CB-12397 to add .gitignore to the app generated by "cordova create". But I would also like to see this documented for new users.
