By default, `ng new` creates an initial skeleton application at the root level of the workspace, along with its end-to-end tests.
The skeleton is for a simple Welcome application that is ready to run and easy to modify.
This *root application* has the same name as the workspace, and the source files reside in the `src/` subfolder of the workspace.
The root-level application has the same name as the workspace, and the source files reside in the `src/` subfolder of the workspace.
This default behavior is suitable for a typical "multi-repo" development style where each application resides in its own workspace.
Beginners and intermediate users are encouraged to use `ng new` to create a separate workspace for each application.

## Workspace configuration files
All projects within a workspace share a [CLI configuration context](guide/workspace-config).
The top level of the workspace contains workspace-wide configuration files.
The top level of the workspace contains workspace-wide configuration files, configuration files for the root-level application, and subfolders for the root-level application source and test files.
| WORKSPACE CONFIG FILES | PURPOSE |
| :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------|
| `node_modules/` | Provides [npm packages](guide/npm-packages) to the entire workspace. Workspace-wide `node_modules` dependencies are visible to all projects. |
| `.editorconfig` | Configuration for code editors. See [EditorConfig](https://editorconfig.org/). |
| `.gitignore` | Specifies intentionally untracked files that [Git](https://git-scm.com/) should ignore. |
| `README.md` | Introductory documentation for the root app. |
| `angular.json` | CLI configuration defaults for all projects in the workspace, including configuration options for build, serve, and test tools that the CLI uses, such as [TSLint](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/), [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/), and [Protractor](http://www.protractortest.org/). For details, see [Angular Workspace Configuration](guide/workspace-config). |
| `package.json` | Configures [npm package dependencies](guide/npm-packages) that are available to all projects in the workspace. See [npm documentation](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json) for the specific format and contents of this file. |
| `package-lock.json` | Provides version information for all packages installed into `node_modules` by the npm client. See [npm documentation](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package-lock.json) for details. If you use the yarn client, this file will be [yarn.lock](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/yarn-lock/) instead. |
| `README.md` | Introductory documentation for the root app. |
| `src/` | Source files for the root-level application project. |
| `node_modules/` | Provides [npm packages](guide/npm-packages) to the entire workspace. Workspace-wide `node_modules` dependencies are visible to all projects. |
| `tsconfig.json` | Default [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) configuration for projects in the workspace. |
| `tslint.json` | Default [TSLint](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/) configuration for projects in the workspace. |
## Application project files
By default, the CLI command `ng new my-app` creates a workspace folder named "my-app" and generates a new application skeleton for a root application at the top level of the workspace.
By default, the CLI command `ng new my-app` creates a workspace folder named "my-app" and generates a new application skeleton in a `src/` folder at the top level of the workspace.
A newly generated application contains source files for a root module, with a root component and template.
When the workspace file structure is in place, you can use the `ng generate` command on the command line to add functionality and data to the application.
This initial starter application is the *default app* for CLI commands (unless you change the default after creating [additional apps](#multiple-projects)).

If you intend to have multiple projects in a workspace, you can skip the initial application generation when you create the workspace, and give the workspace a unique name.
