Can we download Azure deployment files with Azure CLI?

Question

Is it possible to download the deployment JSON file (the template) for an Azure resource using Azure CLI? The equivalent in PowerShell seems to be this command. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.resources/save-azdeploymenttemplate?view=azps-2.0.0

In this case, the resource is a Cloud Service.

It looks like az group deployment export is the command to do this.

az group deployment export --name
                           --resource-group
                           [--subscription]

I'm not sure what the best way to save that output to a file is, but it looks like you can redirect to files using > on Bash command lines.
