Is there a way to pod deintegrate but without deleting Pods folder?

I was wondering if there is a way to run pod deintegrate without it removing the Pods folder, just making the changes to project.pbxproj file?

Why do I ask this?

• In my company, everytime we have to push changes we do pod deintegrate so that the project.pbxproj pod installed changes doesn’t go into the git repo. So doing so, it deletes Pods folder and I have to do pod install shortly after and since there are hundreds of pods this is time consuming.
• I don’t have to do this everytime… mostly I just don’t commit the project.pbxproj file on most of the PR’s but whenever a file is added/moved/deleted in the project this is required

What is my goal?

• Is there a -tag or even some other script that applies the pod deintegrate changes into the project.pbxproj file? But without actually deleting the Pods folder? So I can save some time only to commit changes and without having to wait the whole deintegrate and install processes
