Don't create typings.d.ts by default

[johnpapa]

OS?

Mac OSX Sierra

Versions.

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.21
node: 6.9.1
os: darwin x64

Repro steps

ng new foo

Notice the typings.d.ts file is created by default. it is empty.

Suggestion

1. Do not create typings.d.ts since it is empty
2. Add a command for creating an empty file ... see issue here

Perhaps it would be more useful to provide a link to the typings project, specifically the examples section. If you are coming from JS, and trying to get with the TS program, you best be learning how the darn typings command works.

Adding a link to docs about typings could be helpful, especially since typings have evolved so much over the past year (tsd --> typings --> @types).

However my request was more about the empty file, which some projects may not need. Once we need the file, we can add it. I prefer the CLI to create the files I need, and leave it to me to create the ones I may need.

I think this is inconsistent behavior and may surprise users. For example, styles.css is empty. Most users need it. The ones that don't can delete it.

Maybe create it empty with a helpful comment or link like John said. Styles.css is created empty with a helpful comment at the top.
