Cordova install platforms/plugins from config.xml

In Cordova, it is possible to save platforms and plugins into the config.xml file, this way : 

cordova platform add <platform> --save
cordova plugin add <plugin> --save

This is usefull for versioning in order to not commit all this generated files.

But... how can I install them back from config.xml ?

Something like : cordova platform add --source=config.xml ?

To install all plugins from the config.xml file you run:

cordova prepare

Check what plugins are loaded with:

cordova plugin list

Upd: Official docs on this topic: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/platform_plugin_versioning_ref/index.html

Here is some docs on this feature from Tools Release: April 21, 2015:

When adding plugins or platforms, use the --save flag to add them to config.xml.

Ex: cordova platform add android --save.

Existing projects can use cordova plugin save and cordova platform save commands to save all previously installed plugins and platforms into your project's config.xml.

Platforms and plugins will be autorestored when cordova prepare is run. This allows developers to easily manage and share their dependenceis among different development enviroments and with their coworkers.

Apparently running a command like cordova serve will automatically add all missing platforms/plugins !
