Summary:
The documentation generally provides parity between Windows and Linux by using platform pivots. However, there are several sections where Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as KuduScript, directory paths, and deployment script customization) are described in detail for Windows, while the Linux equivalents are either less detailed, missing, or require more manual steps. Windows examples and tools (like KuduScript and .dll extensions) are often described first or in more depth, and some automation patterns (custom deployment scripts for Composer, Bower, Gulp, Grunt) are only described for Windows. Linux users are sometimes directed to use manual shell commands or edit configuration files directly, with less guidance on automation or parity with Windows tooling.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that all deployment automation examples (such as running Composer, Bower, Gulp, Grunt) are provided for Linux as well, not just Windows. If KuduScript or similar tooling is not available for Linux, suggest or document equivalent approaches (such as custom Oryx build hooks or startup scripts).
- Where Windows-specific tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., KuduScript, .dll files, Windows directory paths), provide Linux equivalents immediately alongside or before the Windows examples.
- Expand the Linux sections to include more detailed, step-by-step automation and scripting guidance, matching the depth provided for Windows.
- Avoid assuming that users are familiar with manual shell editing (e.g., using echo to create .ini files); suggest or document more user-friendly alternatives if available.
- Review the order of presentation to ensure Linux is not always secondary to Windows, especially in cross-platform documentation.
- Where possible, provide a summary table or section that highlights differences and similarities between Windows and Linux approaches, to help users quickly find relevant guidance.
