Summary:
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform coverage, but there are subtle Windows biases. In several places, Windows-specific tools, settings, or patterns are mentioned before Linux equivalents, or are given more detailed explanations. Some settings and examples (such as environment variable delimiters, file paths, and PowerShell-specific settings) are Windows-centric or prioritize Windows terminology. PowerShell and Windows-specific configuration options are described in more detail than their Linux or cross-platform counterparts. In a few cases, Windows-only settings are called out, but Linux-only settings are less emphasized.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that all examples and explanations are provided for both Windows and Linux, with equal detail and prominence.
- When describing environment variable delimiters or file paths, always show both Windows and Linux syntax side by side.
- For settings that are platform-specific (e.g., WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION for Windows), provide a corresponding note or section for Linux, even if just to state the equivalent or that it is not applicable.
- Avoid prioritizing Windows terminology or tools (such as Azure PowerShell) over cross-platform alternatives (like Azure CLI); mention both together or prefer cross-platform tools.
- Where PowerShell-specific settings are described in detail, ensure similar coverage for Bash or other Linux-relevant scripting environments if applicable.
- Review the order in which OS-specific information is presented, and alternate or balance Windows and Linux references to avoid implicit prioritization.
