Cordova oh-my-zsh Plugin

Tab Completion

This plugin includes a _cordova completion file that enables tab-completion for both the cdv alias and the cordova command.

Supported completions:

• Subcommands (build, run, platform, plugin, etc.)
• Platform names (android, ios, browser)
• Platform subcommands (add, rm, update, list, check)
• Plugin subcommands (add, rm, update, list, search)
• Global flags (--verbose, --no-telemetry, --version, --help)

Completion is loaded automatically when the plugin directory is on your $fpath (handled by oh-my-zsh and most plugin managers). If completions are not working, run:

rm -f ~/.zcompdump && exec zsh

---

Troubleshooting

Cordova is not installed or not in your $PATH. Install it via npm:

npm install -g cordova

cdv: command not found

The plugin is not loaded. Verify that:

1. The plugin is cloned to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/cordova/
2. cordova is listed in your plugins array in ~/.zshrc
3. You have reloaded your shell with source ~/.zshrc

---

Aliases not working after installation
