Project description

An interactive Azure CLI 2.0 command line interface.

[Note] Microsoft official Azure CLI 2.0 shell can be found at Azure/azure-cli-shell

Prerequisites

You need Azure CLI 2.0 installed as prerequisites for azure-shell. Please refer to Install Azure CLI 2.0 and install it if not yet installed

Installation

The azure-shell requires python and pip to install. You can install the azure-shell using pip:

pip install azure-shell

If you’ve already have azure-shell installed and want to upgrade to the latest version, you can upgrade like this:

pip install --upgrade azure-shell

Usage

Once you’ve installed the azure-shell, you can run azure-shell by simply typing azure-shell:

azure-shell

You can exit the azure-shell by typing either exit or quit:

azure> exit

Basically you can run azure-shell without making any configurations but you can give options to azure-shell to change its default behabior:

azure-shell --help

Usage: azure-shell [-h] [--version] [--basedir BASEDIR] [--config CONFIG]
                   [--index INDEX]

An interactive Azure CLI command line interface

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  --version          show program's version number and exit
  --basedir BASEDIR  Azure Shell base dir path ($HOME/.azureshell by default)
  --config CONFIG    Azure Shell config file path
                     ($HOME/.azureshell/azureshell.conf by default)
  --index INDEX      Azure Shell index file to load ($HOME/.azureshel/cli-
                     index-<azure_cli_version>.json)

Azure Shell Index Generator

You can generate an index for azure-shell using azure-shell-index-generator command. Please be noted that it will take time before all data generation works are done

azure-shell-index-generator --output ~/.azureshell/cli-index.json

Basically you don’t need to generate the index by yourself as azure-shell automatically downloads an index from its repository and load it for commands and parameters completion in startup time. But you also can give azure-shell your index using –index option.

azure-shell --index ~/.azureshell/cli-index.json
