I developed a ionic2 application, I pushed it to a private git repo accessible by our team. When another colleague is downloading this project, he is not able to use the ionic/cordova commands. (he has ionic/cordova installed globally so it's not this problem, I even tried on my machine by creating another repo and didn't work)
Error: Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project.
I know that ionic start/cordova create adds something more than what is uploaded to git, but this commands come with a .gitignore file that will ignore those files.
Is there any way to initiate the ionic application having the code from the private git?
I saw that ionic cli has a command: ionic start --template (which specifies a template) - Starter templates can either come from a named template, (ex: tabs, sidemenu, blank), a Github repo, a Codepen url, or a local directory.
This doesn't work as expected or I am not trying the right way.
Did anyone have the same problem and got a solution?
I found that there is no need to create the www folder and to put it on github.
The steps for cloning the Ionic2 application from a git repo are the following:
npm installionic build (which will create the www folder and the build structure inside it)ionic platform add <platform>ionic build <platform>It worked for myself, without changing the ionic2 .gitignore or to have a www with .gitkeep as Andreas suggested (which is actually one of the solutions).
