Asks me to fork and clone either azure-cli or azure-cli-extension, but doesn't tell me why I need to do that.

I'm trying to build an extension that I want to host in my own github repo.

It would be great to explain to the user why we are asking them to clone.

In your situation, azdev is used to test, build. Acutally, without azdev, you can also do them manually but just a bit toublesome.

My comment is asking why do I need to clone the Azure CLI in addition to the Azure Extenstions repo. Not whether or not I need azdev.

Sorry. Careless of me.

azure-cli-extensions does depend on azure-cli-core instead of azure-cli, but most of user would use other commands in azure-cli. So I guess previous owner of this repo decided to bring in azure-cli
