Angular 9 CLI TypeScript - How to stop generating spec ts test files

Question

I'm using Angular-CLI, particularly ng g to generate all of my classes. However, I'm not interested in any *.spec.ts test files. I know that there are two flags (--inline-template, --inline-style) to handle inline CSS and HTML instead of separated files, and for spec the --spec flag is set to true by default.

So for each run, yes, I could do ng g c foo --it --is --spec=false.

But how do I disable the creation of test files globally? Is there any default setting for it?

Rashly, I did some stuff (that didn't work), like:

ng set spec=false --global

I also tried configuring my src/tsconfig.json by filling the exclude array:

"exclude": [
    "**/*.spec.ts"
]

If you're using v6 and need to edit your angular.json

You can edit the schematics for your project.

"schematics": {
    "@schematics/angular:component": {
      "styleext": "scss",
      "spec": false
    },
    "@schematics/angular:class": {
      "spec": false
    },
    "@schematics/angular:directive": {
      "spec": false
    },
    "@schematics/angular:guard": {
      "spec": false
    },
    "@schematics/angular:module": {
      "spec": false
    },
    "@schematics/angular:pipe": {
      "spec": false
    },
    "@schematics/angular:service": {
      "spec": false
    }
  },
