I'd like to use the angular-cli to generate a new workspace
The only way to do this at the moment is to run:
ng new asdf
cd asdf
ng g application whatever
but then all of the src/ files remain (and the original angular.json info for a project that is now inconsistently stored). There's no way to create a new repo without the src folder... and when I do this using a custom schematic by essentially duplicating angular-cli's ng-new and removing https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/6449a753641340d8fc19a752e1a1ced75f974efa/packages/schematics/angular/ng-new/index.ts#L61 schematic('application', applicationOptions),
Whenever I run it...
$ ng new asdf -c=my-schematic
$ cd asdf
$ ng g application whatever
{"inlineStyle":false,"inlineTemplate":false,"routing":false,"prefix":"app","style":"css","skipTests":false,"skipPackageJson":false,"name":"whatever"}
CREATE projects/whatever-e2e/protractor.conf.js (752 bytes)
CREATE projects/whatever-e2e/src/app.e2e-spec.ts (304 bytes)
CREATE projects/whatever-e2e/src/app.po.ts (208 bytes)
CREATE projects/whatever-e2e/tsconfig.e2e.json (219 bytes)
Only the e2e files get put into projects/ and the angular.json file remains mostly empty:
{
"$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",
"version": 1,
"newProjectRoot": "projects",
"projects": {},
"cli": {
"defaultCollection": "my-schematic"
}
}
I suspect this has to do with something silently failing in the application schematic or a path being off... but I wanted to check first if there was an easier / more preferred way.

Editing to note I'm familiar about 3rd-party libraries (e.g. Nrwl/Nx) but I'm trying to avoid those. I also posted this issue to GitHub: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/11402
