## Overview

Az-TUI is a terminal-based user interface for managing Azure Container Apps, similar to K9s for Kubernetes. It provides a hierarchical navigation system through Azure resources: resource groups → container apps → revisions → containers → environment variables. Users can browse container apps across subscriptions or limit scope to specific resource groups via the ACA_RG environment variable.

The tool integrates with Azure CLI to fetch real data using `az containerapp` and `az group` commands, requiring Azure CLI authentication and the containerapp extension. Key functionality includes viewing detailed app information in JSON format, inspecting revisions with active indicators and traffic percentages, tailing logs for apps/revisions/containers, and executing shells into running containers for debugging.

Az-TUI features VIM/k9s-style context switching using the `:` key for quick navigation between different views. It includes a mock data mode (`--mock` flag) for development and testing without Azure dependencies, providing realistic test data across multiple environments. The interface uses keyboard-driven navigation with familiar shortcuts and includes built-in help accessible via the `?` key.
