What CLI tools do I need to check on a new dev machine for environment onboarding?▼

For dev environment onboarding, you need to validate Azure CLI, GitHub CLI, jq, and git on your new machine, ensuring they meet minimum version requirements and have active authenticated sessions before proceeding.

How can I check my Azure CLI and GitHub CLI authentication status for automated deployments?▼

Check your Azure CLI and GitHub CLI authentication status by verifying active login sessions before executing automated deployments, ensuring validated credentials are present to avoid unauthorized access or deployment errors.

Does the prerequisite check provide installation guidance for missing CLI tools?▼

Yes, the prerequisite check provides platform-specific installation guidance when it detects missing or outdated CLI tools like az, gh, jq, or git, offering an execution playbook to resolve environment gaps.

Why does my deployment fail with missing or outdated CLI tools in dev containers?▼

Deployments in dev containers fail with missing or outdated CLI tools because required binaries like jq, git, az, or gh are absent or below minimum versions, breaking automated Git-Ape operations that depend on validated tooling.
