ng generate module app-routing --flat --module=app

--flat puts the file in src/app instead of its own folder.

--module=app tells the CLI to register it in the imports array of the AppModule.

This is what the Angular Docs have to say:

When true, creates the new files at the top level of the current project root.

Default: false

Since you've written heroes/heroes, the files will be created in a folder named heroes
