ng new

Creates a new workspace and an initial Angular application.

ng new <name> [options]

ng n <name> [options]

Description

Creates and initializes a new Angular application that is the default project for a new workspace.

Provides interactive prompts for optional configuration, such as adding routing support. All prompts can safely be allowed to default.

The new workspace folder is given the specified project name, and contains configuration files at the top level.
By default, the files for a new initial application (with the same name as the workspace) are placed in the src/ subfolder. Corresponding end-to-end tests are placed in the e2e/ subfolder.
The new application's configuration appears in the projects section of the angular.json workspace configuration file, under its project name.
Subsequent applications that you generate in the workspace reside in the projects/ subfolder.

If you plan to have multiple applications in the workspace, you can create an empty workspace by setting the --createApplication option to false. You can then use ng generate application to create an initial application. This allows a workspace name different from the initial app name, and ensures that all applications reside in the /projects subfolder, matching the structure of the configuration file.
