Basic Information

This repository hosts the Azure Developer CLI (azd), a developer-focused command line tool and associated artifacts for creating Azure applications. The README describes the project goals: reduce the time required for a developer to be productive, demonstrate opinionated best practices for Azure development, and help developers understand core Azure development constructs. The repo includes installers and distribution artifacts for multiple platforms, a Visual Studio Code extension, conventions and templates for repository scaffolding, contributor guidance including a CLA requirement, and telemetry configuration. It is intended for developers and template authors who want a standardized, repeatable CLI-driven experience when building and maintaining Azure application projects. The documentation and discussions are the primary places to learn conventions required by the tooling.

App Details

Features
The README highlights cross-platform installers and artifacts including packaged azd binaries and a VS Code extension, platform-specific install commands and scripts for Windows (winget, Chocolatey, PowerShell), macOS (Homebrew), and Linux (curl installer). It documents shell completion support for bash, zsh, fish and PowerShell and provides uninstall instructions for various install paths. The project enforces repository conventions and template scaffolding rules, includes a contributing guide and CLA workflow, and provides telemetry controls with an environment variable to opt out. There are template standardization guidelines for Microsoft template authors and links to additional installer and template documentation within the repo.
Use Cases
The Azure Developer CLI repository helps developers bootstrap and maintain Azure applications faster by providing a single, opinionated CLI that encodes recommended workflows and repository conventions. Prebuilt installers, a VS Code extension, and shell completion reduce setup friction across Windows, macOS and Linux. Template artifacts and standardization guidance enable consistent project scaffolding and make it easier for teams to share validated starter templates. The contributing process and CLA guidance facilitate community contributions while telemetry and opt-out controls give teams governance over data collection. Overall, the project centralizes tooling, documentation and installer scripts so developers can focus on writing application code rather than configuring platform tooling.
