Is there a difference between PhoneGap and Cordova commands? -


i installed phonegap first time , browsed through docs. confuses me fact docs using command "phonegap" , "cordova".

android platform guide:

$ cordova create hello com.example.hello "helloworld" 

command line interface guide tells:

$ phonegap create hello com.example.hello helloworld 

is there difference between 2 commands (resulting in different files , folder structures) or aliases same thing?

i think url explains need. phonegap built on apache cordova nothing else. can think of apache cordova engine powers phonegap. on time, phonegap distribution may contain additional tools , thats why differ in command same thing.

edit: info added command difference , phonegap can while apache cordova can't or viceversa

first of command line option of phonegap

http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_cli_index.md.html

apache cordova options http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/guide_cli_index.md.html#the%20command-line%20interface

  1. as of commands similar. there few differences (note: no difference in codebase)

  2. adobe can add additional features phonegap not in cordova ,eg: building applications remotely need have account on https://build.phonegap.com

  3. though local builds phonegap cli uses cordova cli (link check: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-cli/blob/master/lib/phonegap/util/platform.js)

    platform environment names. mapping:

    'local' => cordova-cli

    'remote' => phonegap/build

also following repository: modules requires cordova are:

build create install local install local plugin add , list , remove run mode platform update run 

which dont include cordova:

remote build remote install remote login,logout remote run serve
