# remove extension less files

# ========== Cordova - platforms
# android
# platforms/android/app/src/main/assets
# platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
# platforms/android/app/src/main/res/drawable-*
# platforms/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-*
# platforms/android/app/src/main/res/xml/config.xml
# browser
# platforms/browser/app/src/main/assets
# platforms/browser/config.xml
# platforms/browser/www
#
# ========== Cordova - plugins - remove all except json & xml
# plugins/**/.DS_Store
# plugins/**/*.cs
# plugins/**/*.h
# plugins/**/*.java
# plugins/**/*.js
# plugins/**/*.m
# plugins/**/*.map
# plugins/**/*.md
# plugins/**/*.modulemap
# plugins/**/*.ts
# plugins/**/LICENSE
# plugins/**/NOTICE
# plugins/**/*.gradle
# plugins/**/tests/

As you can see I commented most of the lines ( all lines starting with # ). This is because I ran into issues with plugin version changes, and decided to know what is happening with plugin updates. Essentially all platform & plugin files are included in commit, now my life is peaceful.
