Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools and paths are mentioned before or instead of cross-platform or Linux equivalents (e.g., use of Windows MSI installer, %USERPROFILE% paths, win-x86 in ReadyToRun examples). Command-line installation and usage examples are provided for Windows (cmd, PowerShell) but not for Linux (bash, zsh). There is no mention of Linux-specific instructions or file paths, and the ReadyToRun publishing example only shows a Windows runtime identifier. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux or macOS users in terms of examples or tool usage.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as file paths (e.g., use $HOME instead of %USERPROFILE%) and installation locations.
  • Include bash/zsh shell examples alongside cmd and PowerShell for package installation and CLI usage.
  • When discussing ReadyToRun or publishing, provide examples for Linux (e.g., linux-x64) and macOS runtime identifiers, not just win-x86.
  • When referencing installation of Azure Functions Core Tools, include Linux/macOS installation methods (e.g., apt, brew, manual download) and clarify any differences in behavior.
  • Ensure that all command-line and configuration examples are cross-platform or provide platform-specific tabs.
  • Review and update any references to Windows-only dependencies or tools to clarify cross-platform compatibility or alternatives.
