az-group: Check if a resource group exists.
$ az group exists --name ${name}
try on your machine
The command "az group exists --name ${name}" is used to check if an Azure resource group with a specific name already exists.
Here's how it works:
- "az group" is the Azure CLI command to manage Azure resource groups.
- "exists" is a sub-command that checks if a resource group exists with the specified name.
- "--name" is an option used to specify the name of the resource group being checked.
- "${name}" is a placeholder indicating that a variable named "name" will be used to provide the actual name value when executing the command.
To use this command, you need to replace "${name}" with the actual name of the resource group you want to check. For example, if you want to check if a resource group named "myResourceGroup" exists, you would replace "${name}" with "myResourceGroup" like this: az group exists --name myResourceGroup
After executing the command, it will return one of two possible outputs:
- "true" if a resource group with the provided name exists.
- "false" if a resource group with the provided name does not exist.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
