Could someone clearly state the differences between DefinitelyTyped and typings? Both provide TS definitions for existing JS libraries, but I'm unsure about the differences.

DefinitelyTyped is the most popular repository of Declaration Files for many many JavaScript libraries most of which do not provide their own declaration files (as they are not developed with TypeScript and are not committed to work with it). So it holds Declaration files maintained by the community.
Built-in Type Definitions TypeScript includes declaration files for all of the standardized built-in APIs available in JavaScript runtimes. This includes things like methods and properties of built-in types like string or function , top-level names like Math and Object , and their associated types.
As Mike said, typings is a utility used to pull in type definitions (the d.ts files). DefinitelyTyped is a repository for those typings, along with NPM and these other repositories/sources.
