ng

ng command [arguments] [options]

ng is the Angular CLI. It creates, develops, builds, tests and maintains Angular applications and libraries.Workspace configuration lives in angular.json. Most commands run builders (Architect targets) or schematics defined there; new projects use the esbuild-based application builder with a Vite dev server.A project-local CLI in node_modules takes precedence over a globally installed one, so each workspace uses its own CLI version.

new [name] (alias n)

Create a new Angular workspace.

Build and serve the application, rebuilding on file changes.

Compile an application or library into an output directory (dist/ by default).

Generate or modify files (component, service, directive, pipe, guard, etc.).

Run unit tests.

Build, serve and run end-to-end tests (requires an e2e package to be added).

Install a library and run its setup schematic.

Update the workspace and its dependencies, running migrations.

Run linting (requires a linter such as angular-eslint).

Invoke the deploy builder.

Extract i18n messages from source code.

Run an Architect target, e.g. project:target[:configuration].

Get or set values in angular.json.

Configure the persistent disk cache and show statistics.

Configure usage analytics.

Set up shell autocompletion.

Show Angular CLI and package versions.

Display help for any command.

Requires a supported Node.js version (checked at startup). Most commands only work inside an Angular workspace. ng lint, ng e2e and ng deploy do nothing until a corresponding package is added (e.g. ng add @angular-eslint/schematics).

Angular CLI was created by Google and first released in 2016 alongside Angular 2, originally based on ember-cli. It has followed Angular's major version numbering since version 6 (2018).
