Summary
The documentation page for Azure Data Factory source control demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. PowerShell is referenced as a method for publishing changes and updating configuration, but there are no equivalent examples or mentions of Linux shell commands or cross-platform CLI usage. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Azure Portal, Visual Studio) are mentioned, and troubleshooting steps reference PowerShell and SDK usage without alternatives for Linux users. There are no explicit Linux or macOS examples, nor is there guidance for using Azure CLI or other cross-platform tools. The ordering of examples and instructions also tends to prioritize Windows-centric workflows.
Recommendations
  • Include equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples using Azure CLI or Bash where PowerShell is referenced.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for SDKs and provide sample commands for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (Bash, Azure CLI).
  • Add troubleshooting steps that use Azure CLI or REST API, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify that the Azure Data Factory UX and Git integration work on all major platforms and browsers, and note any platform-specific limitations.
  • Where Visual Studio or Windows tools are referenced, suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains IDEs).
  • Ensure that screenshots and instructions do not assume a Windows environment unless necessary, and provide parity for Linux/macOS users.
