Angular `ng serve --prod` is the same as `ng serve -c production`?

I am using Angular 7 and I wonder if 

ng serve --prod

is the same as 

ng serve -c production

Can't find that in the documentation so any help would be appreciated

Solution

  • There is some documentation on it here: https://angular.io/cli/build

    It says that -c is the alias for --configuration

    A named build target, as specified in the "configurations" section of angular.json. Each named target is accompanied by a configuration of option defaults for that target.

    Aliases: -c

    The documentation for --prod says:

    When true, sets the build configuration to the production target. All builds make use of bundling and limited tree-shaking. A production build also runs limited dead code elimination.

    So it sounds to me like the same thing.
