ng --version

? Would you like to enable autocompletion? This will set up your terminal so pressing TAB while typing Angular CLI commands will show possible options and autocomplete arguments.
(Enabling autocompletion will modify configuration files in your home directory.) No
Ok, you won't be prompted again. Should you change your mind, the following command will set up autocompletion for you:
ng completion
