Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell instructions, but PowerShell is given a dedicated section with detailed steps, and references to running commands in a 'local PowerShell terminal' are prominent. There are mentions of Windows-specific tooling issues (e.g., native Node modules lacking Windows binaries), and troubleshooting examples reference Windows errors. There is no explicit mention or example of using Linux or macOS terminals for PowerShell, nor are there Linux-specific troubleshooting notes. The Git Credential Manager dialog is referenced, which is primarily a Windows tool. Overall, the documentation assumes or prioritizes Windows environments and tools, with limited consideration for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS users, including terminal commands and environment setup.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform and provide sample commands in Bash/zsh where appropriate.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., file permissions, SSH key authentication, native module compilation errors on non-Windows OS).
  • Mention alternatives to Git Credential Manager for Linux/macOS, such as credential helpers or SSH.
  • Balance PowerShell and CLI coverage, and note that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, with examples for non-Windows shells.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific errors without also providing Linux/macOS equivalents or context.
