Code doesn't work

Feedback

I tried the following from your documentation:

echo "Types: deb
URIs: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/
Suites: ${AZ_DIST}
Components: main
Architectures: $(dpkg --print-architecture)
Signed-by: /etc/apt/keyrings/microsoft.gpg" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.sources

it didn't work well for me as it did not recognize line breaks or the file content. I would recommend to write the following instead:

printf "Types: deb \n\
URIs: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ \n\
Suites: ${AZ_DIST} \n\
Components: main \n\
Architectures: $(dpkg --print-architecture) \n\
Signed-by: /etc/apt/keyrings/microsoft.gpg" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.sources

It solves 2 issues:

1. the line breaks get recognized by the command.
2. The line breaks remain preserved in the target file.

Alternatively you could echo the content line by line into the target file.

@rbreunung, The Azure CLI is supported in the distributions listed in Before you begin. I retested the Option 2: Step-by-step installation instructions in Debian (bookworm) and Ubunto (22.04.3 LTS / Jammy Jelyfish). Both ran the install script without error.
