How to create a partitioned Azure MongoDB collection with the CLI? - azure-cosmosdb

Question

Microsoft documentation for az cosmosdb collection create
says that --partition-key-path can be used to name a key to use for a collection. In this case, it's a "MongoDB" collection:
name='myName'
databaseName='myDatabase'
resourceGroupName='myRg'
collectionName='myCollection'
echo "Create database account"
az cosmosdb create --name $name --kind MongoDB --locations "Central US"=0 --resource-group $resourceGroupName
echo "Create database"
az cosmosdb database create --name $name --db-name $databaseName --resource-group $resourceGroupName
echo "Create collection $collectionName"
az cosmosdb collection create --name $name --db-name $databaseName --resource-group $resourceGroupName --collection-name $collectionName --partition-key-path '/partition'
What do I need to change to avoid the following error and create a partitioned collection?
Create database account
...
Create database
...
Create collection myCollection
ERROR: Operation Failed: Invalid Arg {"Errors":["The partition key component definition path
'C:\/Apps\/Git\/partition' could not be accepted, failed near position '0'. Partition key paths must contain only
valid characters and not contain a trailing slash or wildcard character."]}

So after all the back and forth it appears to be a path escaping issue, where the partition key, when provided with single quotes, was assumed to be a folder from bash.
However changing single quotes to double quotes worked.
When tried to run with cmd /C the following seems to be working.
cmd "/C az cosmosdb collection create --name $name --db-name $databaseName --resource-group $resourceGroupName --collection-name $collectionName --partition-key-path "/partition""
