Take a look at the guide here for a guide on the design of azbrowse and then a look here for how to get started on deving

Install/Run

Pre-req: Ensure you have the az command from Azure CLI setup on your machine and are logged-in otherwise azbrowse won't work!

Mac/OSX via Homebrew

Install HomeBrew

brew install lawrencegripper/tap/azbrowse

Windows via Scoop

Install Scoop

iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')

Install AzBrowse using Scoop

scoop bucket add azbrowse https://github.com/lawrencegripper/scoop-bucket.git
scoop install azbrowse

Run via Docker

You can then start azbrowse in docker by mounting in your $HOME directory so azbrowse can access the login details from your machine inside the docker container.

docker run -it --rm -v $HOME:/root/ -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro ghcr.io/lawrencegripper/azbrowse/azbrowse

Linux via Snap Store

Linux via Releases tar.gz

Grab the URL to the .tar.gz for the latest release for your platform/architecture. E.g. https://github.com/lawrencegripper/azbrowse/releases/download/v1.1.193/azbrowse_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Download the release (either via the browser or wget https://github.com/lawrencegripper/azbrowse/releases/download/v1.1.193/azbrowse_linux_amd64.tar.gz).

Extract the binary from the archive to a suitable location (here we're using /usr/bin for convenience): tar -C /usr/bin -zxvf azbrowse_linux_amd64.tar.gz azbrowse

Note: If you have a location on $PATH which is writable by the current user like /home/USERNAMEHERE/go/bin it's best to use this as it'll allow azbrowse to update itself in place without requiring sudo

Make the binary executable: chmod +x /usr/bin/azbrowse

Install via azure-cli extention

This is experimental and Non-functional on Windows. Only tested on Unix based systems.

Want to run az browse and have the azure-cli install and run azbrowse?

This extension from Noel Bundick lets you do just that

DIY

Simply download the archive/package suitable for your machine, from the release page, and execute it.

Bonus: Add it to your $PATH so you can run azbrowse anywhere.

Shell completion

Azbrowse can generate shell completions for a number of different shells using the azbrowse completion command.

For example, azbrowse -s thing<TAB> → azbrowse -s thingSubscription and jump straight to that Azure subscription.

To configure completion in bash add the following to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile

source <(azbrowse completion bash)

To configure completion for zsh run the following command

azbrowse completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_azbrowse"

Ensure you have autoload -Uz compinit && compinit present in your .zshrc file to load these completions
