az-config: Print configurations for a specific section.
$ az config get ${section_name}
try on your machine

The command az config get ${section_name} is used in the Azure command-line interface (CLI) to retrieve a value from the Azure CLI configuration for a specified section.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • az: This is the command used to interact with Azure resources through the Azure CLI.
  • config: This is the sub-command used to manage the Azure CLI configuration settings.
  • get: This is the action within the config sub-command that retrieves the value of a configuration setting.

${section_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the specific section in the Azure CLI configuration from which you want to retrieve a value. The configuration is divided into different sections, such as core or component, each containing different settings.

For example, if you want to retrieve a value from the core section, you would replace ${section_name} with core, as follows: az config get core.

This command can be useful when you want to access and view specific configuration settings in the Azure CLI.
