Summary
The documentation demonstrates a noticeable Windows bias, primarily through the frequent use of PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (e.g., AzPowershell, Azure PowerShell, AzureCLI with 'pscore'). Windows authentication and setup patterns are described first or exclusively in several places, with PowerShell commands and references appearing before or instead of Linux alternatives. There is little to no mention of Linux shell equivalents, and the workflow examples default to PowerShell-based steps even when the runner is 'ubuntu-latest'.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or Linux shell commands alongside PowerShell examples, especially for CI steps and authentication.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and clarify when commands/tools are OS-agnostic.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer Bash alternatives for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Azure CLI commands in Bash).
  • Avoid implying PowerShell is required on non-Windows runners; clarify that Azure CLI and related tools work in Bash.
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux/macOS setup steps, especially for local development and CI/CD environments.
  • Review and balance the order of tool mentions (e.g., Azure CLI before or alongside Azure PowerShell).
