Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the ordering and inclusion of examples for command-line usage. In several places, Windows-specific shells (Cmd, PowerShell) are presented before or more prominently than Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell is treated as a first-class language option, and Windows command-line patterns are detailed alongside or before bash equivalents. However, Linux/macOS instructions are present, and the use of cross-platform tools like curl and azd is consistent.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure that Linux/macOS examples are always presented first or at least with equal prominence to Windows examples, especially in tabbed code blocks.
  • Where possible, use neutral terms like 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt' or clarify that both are supported.
  • For PowerShell, clarify its availability on Linux/macOS or provide bash/zsh equivalents where appropriate.
  • In sections where multiple shell examples are given, consider defaulting to bash (Linux/macOS) first, as it is more universally available across platforms.
  • Audit all code snippets and instructions to ensure that Linux users are not required to mentally translate from Windows-specific instructions.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for all tools and commands, and provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux/macOS issues.
