How to add a cordova plugin to meteor that isn't in the phonegap registry?

According to the documentation you can add a project from the registry or from a tarball url?

# add plugin from plugin registry
meteor add cordova:[email protected]

# add plugin from the tarball url
meteor add cordova:com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect@https://github.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-facebook-plugin/tarball/0e61babb65bc1716b957b6294c7fdef3ce6ace79

So how do I add this plugin off of github?

Updated 10/12/2015 for Meteor 1.2.

meteor add cordova:com.verso.cordova.clipboard@https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard.git#03fe48b62411cbff22229ca13cc3ac8b282f7945

To add to the comment above... to get the @ part.

Before the @: Should be in the plugin.xml in the git repo with the key id.

Next, directly after the @ : https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard.git

-Get this from the HTTPS link on the right side of the main github repo page.

Next, directly after the #:

-Go to one of the commits in github that you want, the number you need is the last number after 'commit'.

E.G. https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard/commit/03fe48b62411cbff22229ca13cc3ac8b282f7945

The number would be: 03fe48b62411cbff22229ca13cc3ac8b282f7945 (The commit hash)

You can no longer add a Cordova plugin with a tarball URL (I'm using Meteor 1.2.0.1) and there seems to be some sort of bug using the hash value as the docs recommend. Here's what I did instead:

First, I cloned the git project under myapp/private folder. It's important it's private otherwise Meteor will pick-up the www/*.js files and try to compile like normal causing other issues (e.g., "module" or "require" is not defined).

Second, use the following command to add them to your project:

meteor add cordova:com.loutilities.qaps.mobile.plugin.phone@file://./private/plugins/cordova-plugin-phone

This will them to the cordova-plugins directory along with the other bits they add.
