Is there any way to bypass the initial ionic latest version verification? I am waiting 1 minute sometimes when I want to recompile my code because of this.
I want to start directly with webpack.
This should probably be posted and asked at https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues so it can become a feature request 
Good idea, thank you! I’ll also post the answer here if it will be approved in the issues.
