Support pipe into commands
See original GitHub issueLet’s assume somebody wants to write the following command spo site list | spo app install (imagine some filters in the site collection selection and an app id provided).
Today that’s not possible because commands don’t support pipe input.

@andrewconnell and I had a discussion about this lately and we couldn’t find examples of other CLIs doing this. It seems like such behavior (piping complex output of one command to another) is something specific to PowerShell. CLIs are typically used in scripts where the values are assigned to and passed via variables. So while adding support for piping could be done, it might be confusing for folks who are used to working with CLIs. I’m inclined to reconsider adding this to the CLI and keep using scripts for more complex scenarios
Closing this for now as we don’t have a specific use case for implementation. Let’s revisit in the future if need be.
