C:\Test\cordova_android>call cordova plugin add https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard.git
Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard.git via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

If I change the script to`

call npm install -g cordova@6

it works fine. ➡️ with cordova 6 everything works

use: cordova plugin add … --nofetch to install the plugins in Cordova 7 as it is defined in the cordova 7 documentation https://cordova.apache.org/news/2017/05/04/cordova-7.html
