Thinking about this a bit more the npm links should be something like
npm link dist/@angular/cli
npm link dist/@angular-devkit/schematics
Also, if you are using @angular/cli you don't need to use @angular-devkit/schematics-cli

…gular-devkit/schematics-cli The @angular-cli/README.md appears to be the build/link documentation also for @angular-devkit/schematics and @angular-devkit/schematics-cli, but following the instructions does not result in usable local schematics. Add sufficient commands so these projects can be used as local packages and the schematics command works.

I updated the npm link commands, and think I found a way to use npm link to get schematics-cli to use the local schematics build. I'm not developing schematics for angular but using schematics to assemble scaffolding for another project, and per the existing documentation I was using schematics-cli during development. As my local work has moved beyond this stage I don't any longer have a setup to actually test that these commands work but the results of running them look reasonable. |

I can't tell from the GitHub interface if I'm expected to do anything else at this point. |

use && instead of ; as the later will not work on Windows.

The @angular-cli/README.md appears to be the build/link documentation
also for @angular-devkit/schematics and
@angular-devkit/schematics-cli, but following the instructions does
not result in usable local schematics. Add sufficient commands so
these projects can be used as local packages and the schematics
command works.
