Some handy Mac OS tips for powershell azure cli

This will be an on going, dare I say “evergreen” resource for me to remind me of some handy tips when using PowerShell, azure cli or AWS cli while on my mac. I’ve been a windows pc user since windows 3.1 and have recently forced myself to change from windows are my primary day to day work machine to a MacBook. It’s certainly been interesting. Hopefully some of these can be helpful to some other “recent” mac “dual wielders”. (I’m still a heavy windows user)
