Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in several areas: Windows commands and tools (such as PowerShell and 'py') are often mentioned before or in more detail than their Linux equivalents. Some instructions and examples are Windows-centric or lack parity in Linux-specific guidance. While Linux is acknowledged as the Azure Functions runtime environment, and some Unix-like examples are present, the documentation could better balance platform representation, especially in command-line instructions and troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations:
- Ensure all command-line examples are provided for both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (Bash), and present them in parallel or with equal prominence.
- When referencing tools like 'py' (Windows Python launcher), also mention 'python3' for Linux/macOS, and clarify which platforms each applies to.
- Avoid listing Windows commands or tools first by default; alternate the order or present both together.
- Where platform-specific issues are discussed (e.g., pywin32), provide equivalent Linux/macOS troubleshooting steps or explicitly state if none exist.
- Expand on Linux-native tools and workflows (e.g., using Bash, Linux file paths, package managers) where relevant.
- Audit all sections for missing Linux/macOS examples, especially in deployment, troubleshooting, and environment setup instructions.
