Azure-cli: Linking the azure account and installing the azuredevops extension

To understand better, look at the previous post:link

Well, now that we have the azure-cli installed on linux, let's link it with our microsoft azure account, the process is quite simple, in terminal, type the following command:

romerito@dev:~$ az login

Pressing [Enter] will bring up a web page similar to this one.

In my case, I already have the account logged in, so I just need to select it. One important detail, the account you add must be the same account that accesses the Azure Portal. After you select the account, a success message will appear, close it and go back to the terminal and you will see something like this.

There you go, from that point on you can manage azure resources via the command line.
And finally, let's install the azure devops extension using this command:

romerito@dev:~$ az extension add --name azure-devops

Wait a few seconds and pahhhh, installed!
To check if it really isntalled, type in terminal:

romerito@dev:~$ az devops -h
