aztfexport resource-group [option] <resource group name>
aztfexport resource-group myResourceGroup
aztfexport resource -o tempdir --hcl-only <resource_id>
For a non-interactive resource, add the --non-interactive flag: aztfexport rg --non-interactive myResourceGroup.
The --hcl-only flag specifies to export the configured resources to HCL
If the directory in which you're running Azure Export for Terraform isn't empty, you must add the --overwrite flag to use the --hcl-only flag.
aztfexport [command] --append <scope>
To specify a different environment other than public cloud, use the --env flag. For example, for US Government:
aztfexport [command] --env="usgovernment" [further options] <scope>
aztfexport [command] --provider-name=azapi --provider-version=1.10.0 [further options] <scope>
If you aren't sure what resources exist within an environment, you can verify by specifying the --generate-mapping-file flag.
