Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the 'Connect to the developer portal' section, where instructions for updating the hosts file are given exclusively for Windows (using Notepad and the Windows file path). There are no equivalent instructions for Linux or macOS users. Additionally, the mention of 'Switch to PowerShell' in Azure Cloud Shell may imply a Windows-first approach, though most command examples use Azure CLI and bash-like syntax.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for updating the hosts file on Linux (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts) and macOS.
  • Include notes or examples for common Linux/macOS editors (nano, vim, etc.) and file paths.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI commands can be run in bash/zsh shells on Linux/macOS, and provide any necessary syntax adjustments (e.g., backtick line continuations vs. backslash).
  • When referencing Azure Cloud Shell, mention both Bash and PowerShell options, and clarify which shell is used in examples.
  • Review other sections for subtle Windows-centric language or assumptions, and ensure parity for Linux/macOS users.
