How to generate components in a specific folder with Angular CLI?

The ng g component plainsight/some-name makes a new directory when we use it.

The final output will be:

plainsight/some-name/some-name.component.ts

To avoid that, make use of the flat option ng g component plainsight/some-name --flat and it will generate the files without making a new folder

plainsight/some-name.component.ts
