title: Best practices for Cordova/Ionic Plugins management?
body: <p>What are the best practices for checking in plugins for my Ionic/Cordova project?</p>
  
  <p>I would like to minimize the number of files that are checked into my project. Mainly I do not want to checkin any file that my project downloads from an outside source and also want to leave out any files generated with my build command.</p>
  
  <p>The hope is to checkout my project and then run <code>ionic platform add &lt;platform&gt; ;ionic build &lt;platform&gt;</code> and be good to go.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure how to implement in the root <code>config.xml</code> file or in a <code>plugins/&lt;platform&gt;.json</code> file</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried using the <code>hooks/after_platform_add/010_install_plugins.js</code>, so far this seems to be the best option.</p>
  
  <p>Any tips would be much appreciated thanks.</p>
