Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing PowerShell, using Windows-centric tools and terminology (e.g., AzPowershell, PowerShell@2 tasks), and omitting explicit Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples. Even when CI runners are set to Ubuntu, the scripts and instructions default to PowerShell syntax and tools, with no Bash or Linux-native alternatives provided. This may hinder Linux-first or cross-platform users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or sh examples alongside PowerShell commands, especially for npm, dotnet, and Playwright CLI usage.
  • When showing CI pipeline YAML, offer both PowerShell and Bash script variants, or use cross-platform steps where possible.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'AzPowershell', 'PowerShell@2') as the default; clarify when steps are cross-platform or provide Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps work on Linux/macOS, and highlight any platform-specific considerations.
  • For command-line snippets, default to Bash or provide both Bash and PowerShell versions, especially for Playwright and npm commands.
  • Review all code blocks and workflow steps to ensure Linux users are not required to mentally translate from PowerShell to Bash.
