Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and Cmd) are given explicit, detailed instructions and examples, sometimes before or in addition to Linux equivalents. The virtual environment setup for Python, for example, provides three tabs: Linux/macOS, Windows (bash), and Windows (Cmd), with Windows variants receiving their own sections. In the 'Invoke the function on Azure' section, Windows (Cmd) and PowerShell instructions are provided alongside bash, with PowerShell highlighted for the PowerShell language pivot. The use of 'terminal or command prompt' throughout also subtly prioritizes Windows terminology. Additionally, the Powershell language pivot receives special treatment in several places, including unique instructions and code samples.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux/bash instructions are always presented first or equally alongside Windows-specific instructions.
  • Use neutral terminology such as 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt' where possible.
  • For PowerShell examples, clarify cross-platform support and provide bash equivalents where relevant.
  • Where multiple tabs are used for OS-specific instructions, consider grouping Linux/macOS and Windows equally, and avoid giving Windows variants more prominence.
  • Explicitly mention that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS unless there are genuine platform-specific caveats.
  • Audit all code samples and instructions to ensure Linux users have clear, direct guidance and are not required to infer steps from Windows-centric instructions.
