Azure CLI in Git Bash

Sometimes commands in windows git bash need .cmd appended. Also, another way of installing the Azure-Cli is through Chocolatey https://chocolatey.org/

Try this command after Azure-Cli is installed:

az.cmd --version

Echoing mscrivo you can run the line below in CMD not PowerShell (elevated/admin)

echo "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin\az.cmd" $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 ${10} ${11} ${12} ${13} ${14} ${15} > "C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\az" 

Now you should be able to run in Git bash:

az --version

artberri noted the best solution in a comment:

Add the following to your %USERPROFILE%\.bashrc or %USERPROFILE%\.profile

alias az='az.cmd'

However, if you want to be able to use az in bash scripts, you'll need something a little more drastic, run the following from cmd prompt:

echo "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin\az.cmd" $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 ${10} ${11} ${12} ${13} ${14} ${15} > "%SYSTEMROOT%\az"

That will essentially create a passthrough az command in your windows folder that can be run from anywhere and passes parameters through to az.cmd.

In case using Git bash, navigate to the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile.d

Edit aliases.sh, then add a new alias for az as below:

alias az='az.cmd'
