Switch Azure subscriptions

Problem: Switching subscriptions using the Azure CLI involves too much typing.

# Type a lot...
az account list --output table

# Use mouse to select the subscription-id in the console
# Use ctrl-c to copy the text, this might be optional 
 
# Type a lot...
az account set --subscription-id <paste subscription-id>

Solution: I simplified this task with the command-line utility az-switch! The active subscription is bold and green and selected as default argument. Just select the subscription you want to activate.

Install

pip install az-account-switcher

Usage

Usage: az-switch [OPTIONS]

  Show all Azure Subscriptions in current profile using the `az` command-
  line utility. Ask user input for switching to another subscription.

Options:
  -n INTEGER  Switch to this subscription number directly.
  -v          Verbose: echo the azure-cli commands.
  -h, --help  Show this message and exit.

Example

Thanks to @tqorange for contributing.
