Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows tools (Git Bash from Git for Windows, Visual Studio Immediate Window) as the primary or only examples for command-line and password encoding tasks. It also mentions Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI in several places, and provides detailed instructions for Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) for URL encoding passwords, without offering equivalent Linux/macOS alternatives. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples or tool recommendations.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/macOS instructions and examples wherever Windows-specific tools or workflows are mentioned (e.g., suggest using the native terminal or Terminal.app, and provide equivalent shell commands).
- When referencing tools like Visual Studio for password encoding, include cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Python, Node.js, or command-line utilities for URL encoding).
- Avoid defaulting to Windows tools in examples; instead, use platform-agnostic tools or present both Windows and Linux/macOS options side by side.
- List Azure CLI before or alongside Azure PowerShell to avoid implying a Windows-first approach.
- Explicitly state that the instructions apply to all platforms and provide links to Git installation instructions for Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
