Why does angular 2 cli generate component create a shared folder with index.ts

Question

When I generate a component with the angular 2 cli:

ng g component "test" it creates a folder:

test
 |__Shared
 |   |__Index.ts
 |__test.component.html
 |__test.component.css
 |__etc...

What is the Shared folder? I mean what am I assumed to share between a html and css file? Or between a test.component.ts and a test.component.css ?

That makes no sense to me to create for each component a shared folder.

Can anyone explain that to me please?!

The shared folder is created to stay in line with the style guide set forth from angular. In this case it seems that the CLI is anticipating that you might create components within components and so it creates the shared folder when a component is created.

Here is some more reading about someone who questioned why there was a shared folder.
