Could someone clearly state the differences between DefinitelyTyped and typings? Both provide TS definitions for existing JS libraries, but I'm unsure about the differences.

    DefinitelyTyped is just a location of .d.ts files. Typings is a utility that retrieves those definitions. – Heretic Monkey Sep 02 '16 at 17:25
  • What exactly is in this question that couldn't be answered in the other question you asked moments earlier? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39297746/typescript-definitions-for-various-libraries-and-different-versions-typings-d – Claies Sep 02 '16 at 17:37
  • @Claies oh that's easy - this I just ask about something different :) – ducin Sep 02 '16 at 18:13

As Mike said, typings is a utility used to pull in type definitions (the d.ts files). DefinitelyTyped is a repository for those typings, along with NPM and these other repositories/sources.
