Description

ng g @someorg/somepackage:some-long-schematic my-name
This is a long and tedious command.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose
ng g some-schematic my-name

With a angular.json containing:

{
   "cli": {
        "schematicsAliases": [{
             "name": "some-schematic",
             "reference": "@someorg/somepackage:some-long-schematic"
        }]
   }
//...
}

Describe alternatives you've considered

List of collections where it is not necessary to provide the package name.
The ng utility would take the first schematic that is encountered in the collection list.

{
   "cli": {
        "defaultCollection ": ["@someorg/package1", "@otherorg/package2"]
   }
//...
}

Still no way to do it or alternative?

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
