Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, most notably in Step 6 ('Upload static files to a blob'), where it explicitly instructs users to 'Open Windows Command Prompt, PowerShell, or other command shell' before running Azure CLI commands. No mention is made of Linux or macOS terminals, and no Linux-specific instructions or examples are provided. The general pattern is to assume a Windows environment, even though the rest of the steps are cross-platform and use generic shell commands.
Recommendations:
- Update language in Step 6 to reference all major platforms, e.g., 'Open your terminal (Command Prompt, PowerShell, or terminal on Linux/macOS)'.
- Explicitly state that all commands are cross-platform unless otherwise noted.
- Wherever a shell or terminal is referenced, provide parity by mentioning Linux/macOS equivalents alongside Windows tools.
- If there are any platform-specific considerations (such as path separators or environment variable syntax), call them out with examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS.
- Consider adding a short section or note at the start of the document clarifying that the instructions are intended to be cross-platform, and that the Azure CLI and other tools work on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
