README

AzBrowse

An interactive CLI for browsing azure resources, inspired by resources.azure.com

Quick Start

Simply download the binary suitable for your machine, from the release page, and execute it.

Status

It's an MVP to prove out the use case. Basic navigation and operations with a boltdb based cache for expensive (slow) API calls.

Currently I'm using it every day but it is experimental so use with caution on a production environment!!

Usage

Navigation

Key	Does
↑/↓	Select resource
Backspace	Go back
ENTER	Expand/View resource

Operations

Key	Does
CTRL+E	Toggle Browse JSON	For longer responses you can move the cursor to scroll the doc
CTRL+o (o for open)	Open Portal	Opens the portal at the currently selected resource
DEL:	Delete resource	The currently selected resource will be deleted (Requires double press to confirm)
CTLT+F:	Toggle Fullscreen	Gives a fullscreen view of the JSON for smaller terminals
CTLT+S:	Save JSON to clipboard	Saves the last JSON response to the clipboard for export
CTLT+A:	View Actions for resource	This allows things like ListKeys on storage or Restart on VMs

Debugging

Running azbrowse --debug will start an in-memory collector for the opentracing and a GUI to browse this at http://localhost:8700. You can use this to look at tracing information output by azbrowse as it runs.

Developing

Clone the repository then use go build or go install to build the tool and run it locally. Before submitting a PR you can test the CI process locally by running ./scripts/ci.sh this requires docker be installed and configured on your box.

Plans

Issues on the repository track plans, I'd love help so feel free to comment on an issue you'd like to work on and we'll go from there.
