Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows commands (CMD and PowerShell) are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, with more detailed instructions and multiple Windows shells covered. Proxy configuration and bypass instructions are Windows-centric, with explicit commands for both CMD and PowerShell, while Linux/macOS are given only a single export command and less detail. Some environment variables (e.g., AZCOPY_CACHE_PROXY_LOOKUP, AZCOPY_PARALLEL_STAT_FILES) mention Windows-specific behavior or recommendations, and Windows tools/patterns (Event Logger, auto proxy detection) are referenced without Linux equivalents. There are missing Linux-specific examples for certain advanced scenarios.
Recommendations
- Present Linux/macOS examples before or alongside Windows examples, rather than after.
- Provide parity in detail for Linux/macOS, e.g., include shell variants (bash, zsh) and instructions for unsetting proxy variables.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools (e.g., Syslog vs. Event Logger) and clarify platform-specific behaviors.
- Add advanced Linux usage scenarios and troubleshooting tips, such as handling proxies, file permissions, or systemd integration.
- Avoid Windows-centric language (e.g., 'threads' vs. 'processes') and clarify when recommendations differ by platform.
