Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell syntax for Azure CLI commands, but consistently lists Bash first and PowerShell second. There are no exclusive Windows-only tools or steps, but the presence of PowerShell examples throughout, and the explicit mention that Azure CLI commands can run in PowerShell or Bash, introduces a mild Windows bias. All tooling and instructions are otherwise cross-platform (Azure CLI, azd, Visual Studio Code), and Linux users are not excluded, but the parity in example prominence could be improved.
Recommendations:
  • Alternate the order of Bash and PowerShell examples throughout the documentation, or present both equally (e.g., side-by-side tabs).
  • Explicitly state that all tools and steps are fully supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Where possible, provide a single cross-platform command (e.g., using environment-agnostic syntax) before splitting into shell-specific variants.
  • Add a brief section or callout confirming that Visual Studio Code and Azure CLI are available and supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • If referencing Visual Studio Code, clarify that it is cross-platform and provide links to Linux/macOS installation guides as well.
