Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Java section, where command examples are provided for Bash, PowerShell, and Cmd, with PowerShell and Cmd (Windows shells) given equal or greater prominence than Bash (Linux/macOS). The use of terms like 'command prompt' and explicit mention of Windows-specific shells and tools (PowerShell, Cmd) without equivalent emphasis on Linux shells or tools further reinforces this bias. However, most other sections use cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, func) and generic 'terminal or command prompt' language, and the inclusion of Bash examples does provide some Linux support.
Recommendations
  • For all code examples, consistently provide Bash (Linux/macOS) as the first/default example, followed by PowerShell and Cmd as alternatives.
  • When referencing the terminal, use 'terminal' or 'shell' instead of 'command prompt' to be more platform-neutral.
  • Where PowerShell or Cmd examples are given, ensure that equivalent Bash examples are always present and shown first.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility and provide troubleshooting notes for those platforms where relevant.
  • If referencing Windows-specific environment variables or paths (e.g., JAVA_HOME), also show Linux/macOS equivalents.
  • Consider adding a short section or note about cross-platform compatibility and any OS-specific considerations.
