0365 CLI on Windows Terminal

Posted on January 20, 2020
Since a few months, I like to manage my Office 365 development tenants with the command line tool instead of the Office 365 portal.
The main reason is I created some scripts to clean up everything after deploy and to reset all the settings from a team or something similar.
In addition, I fell in love with Windows Terminal since the firsts beta version. :)
Create an O365 CLI Profile
Basically the only requirement to run an O365 CLI is a command prompt.
For this reason, create a profile on Windows Terminal is very easy.
In my profile, I launch a Powershell Core instance with the parameter o365.
I also configured Cascadia Code as font to have some addinational features during the reading of the console commands and results.
I added an image as background to recognize instantly the 0365 CLI.
I shared my Json configuration below.
You can just copy and paste on your Windows Terminal profile. :)
