Would it make more sense for it to treat app-hello-world files similar to platforms that are versioned and stored in npm and cached locally? Strange as it may seem, there are app developers behind a corporate firewall without Internet access, and I think they may be broken. A change could also line up better with the shrinkwrap. > Docs do not mention Git requirement for plugin adding > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-6208 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6208 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Docs > Reporter: Raymond Camden > Priority: Minor > > Twice now I've run into people who have an issue adding a plugin because they don't have Git installed. While the error is pretty clear, it is in the middle of a bunch of other output and the docs should note that this is a dependancy. To be fair, it isn't necessarily something you need to run a CLI, but as soon as you add a plugin (which is pretty much *always* required now), you run into it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
