Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric tools and workflows (such as Azurite emulator and Visual Studio Code commands) without clarifying Linux/Mac compatibility or providing alternative instructions. Powershell is included as a primary language, but there are no explicit Bash or Linux shell examples. The instructions for starting Azurite and running the function app assume Visual Studio Code and Windows keybindings, and there is no mention of Linux-specific nuances or terminal commands.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention that Azurite and Visual Studio Code are cross-platform, and provide instructions for starting Azurite from the command line (e.g., `npx azurite` or `azurite` for Linux/Mac users).
- Include Bash or Linux shell equivalents for any Powershell or Windows-specific commands.
- Clarify that Visual Studio Code commands and keybindings may differ on Linux/Mac (e.g., <kbd>Cmd</kbd> instead of <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>).
- Add a note or section for Linux/Mac users highlighting any differences in setup, file paths, or environment variables.
- Where possible, provide terminal-based alternatives to GUI steps (such as using the Azure CLI for resource creation and management).
