Add more description to ng generate subcommands
Which @angular/* package(s) are relevant/related to the feature request?

Description
Some newcomers like me didn't know what happens when I run ng g component whatever
and ng g service whatever
:
The description is too vague and you get confused at first what these commands do to the file system and how they name the API item and the component selector, so can you add a little more detail to --help
?
Proposed solution
Add more detail:
-
ng g component --help
(<name>
)- Generates a directory at
name
. The last portion ofname
is the selector (or API item name), adding aapp-
prefix by default.
- Generates a directory at
-
ng g service --help
(<name>
)- Generates a service and its spec at
name
(not at a new directory).
- Generates a service and its spec at

Hey @alan-agius4 do we know what message we want to add, I can take this up.
Hello @JeanMeche @alan-agius4 I am getting Cannot find module '/workspaces/angular-cli/lib/packages.js' imported from /workspaces/angular-cli/.ng-dev/commit-message.mjs I see there is packages.ts file inside lib bit not js, is there any extra step which I am missing to convert this to js?
