Nowadays, Azure CLI shows an error message:

$ az group
the following arguments are required: _subcommand

TRY THIS:
az group create --location westus --resource-group MyResourceGroup
Create a new resource group in the West US region.

az group delete --resource-group MyResourceGroup
Delete a resource group.

az group list --query "[?location=='westus']"
List all resource groups located in the West US region.

Read more about the command in reference docs

It will be more user-friendly to just show the help message of az group --help directly.
