Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias. Examples and instructions for signing in to Azure are given for Azure CLI, Visual Studio Code, and PowerShell, with PowerShell called out as a distinct tab. When setting environment variables for the connection string, Windows instructions (using 'setx') are presented before Linux instructions (using 'export'). The mention of 'console window (such as PowerShell or Bash)' puts PowerShell first, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (PowerShell, setx) are included throughout. There are no Linux-exclusive examples, and Linux instructions are present but secondary.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which comes first to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • When listing console options, use neutral phrasing (e.g., 'such as Bash or PowerShell') or list Bash first.
  • Provide explicit Bash and Linux terminal examples where PowerShell is shown, and consider including macOS instructions if relevant.
  • Ensure that environment variable instructions for Linux are given equal prominence and detail as Windows.
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux-specific authentication flows (e.g., using Azure CLI in Bash) and clarify any OS-specific differences.
  • Review code snippets and instructions to ensure they are cross-platform and do not assume Windows as the default environment.
