Ionic CLI's `ionic info` is one of its most useful commands. You just ask
someone to run it in the project and post the output and you know (almost) all
relevant versions, components used and even paths that are relevant.
An example:
```
λ ionic info
cli packages: (C:\nvm\v10.7.0\node_modules)
@ionic/cli-utils : 1.19.2
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0
global packages:
cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0
local packages:
@ionic/app-scripts : 2.0.2
Cordova Platforms : android 7.1.1 ios 4.5.5
Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.5.3
System:
Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1
Node : v10.7.0
npm : 6.1.0
OS : Windows 10
Environment Variables:
ANDROID_HOME : C:\Android
Misc:
backend : pro
```
Compare that to the output of `cordova info` in the same project:
```
λ cordova info

Error retrieving iOS platform information: Error: cmd: Command failed with exit
code 1 Error output:
'xcodebuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
```
While it may include the same information, `cordova info` is much less readable
and also harder to copy from the command line.
## Suggestion
Split `cordova info` into two commands: `cordova info` and `cordova info
--extended`. The first outputs a short list of the most important information
(what platforms, plugins, versions, npm+node, OS etc.) and the second one also
includes the complete `config.xml`, Android targets information etc.
