# 🐞 Bug report

### Command

- [X] update
- [X] version

### Is this a regression?

No

### Description

I have a monorepo where I am adding an Angular project. As a result, it exists in a subdirectory. Since many tools (such as `ng`) expect the project to be the working directory, I often use the pattern `(cd path/to/subproject/ && run some tool)`. The subshell means I'm returned back to my original directory.

This pattern does not play well with `ng version` and `ng update`. I was trying to update to version 9 prerelease and saw the following:

```shell
$ (cd services/ng-frontend/ && ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --next)
# Successful update...
$ ng version
_ _ ____ _ ___

/ ___ \| | | | (_| | |_| | | (_| | | | |___| |___ | |
/_/ \_\_| |_|\__, |\__,_|_|\__,_|_| \____|_____|___|

Angular CLI: 8.3.21
Node: 13.5.0
OS: linux x64
Angular:

@schematics/angular 8.3.21
@schematics/update 0.803.21
rxjs 6.4.0
```

This was confusing and made me think the update failed, however the update was actually fine. My mistake here was running `ng version` in the root of my monorepo, rather than the Angular project. After noticing this I tried:

```shell
$ (cd services/ng-frontend/ && ng version)
_ _ ____ _ ___
/ \ _ __ __ _ _ _| | __ _ _ __ / ___| | |_ _|

Which is what I expected post-update.

IMHO this dichotomy is confusing. When the user is in an Angular project, it lists versions of that project. When outside an Angular project, it lists the global versions and it is very easy to look at the wrong one.

I'm not sure what the ideal solution to this problem would be. There could be two different commands, such as an `ng global-version` and `ng project-version`, but this might add too much additional complexity to be worth it. Maybe the output could simply be updated to be more clear? Such as having some big red text saying "No Angular project detected at $PWD"?

Reproduisez les deux commandes `ng version` de l’issue, à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de `services/ng-frontend/`, et suivez le point d’entrée de la commande de version d’Angular CLI. La modification est terminée lorsque la sortie en dehors d’un projet Angular indique clairement qu’aucun projet n’a été détecté et ne fait pas passer les versions globales pour des versions du projet.
