Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias primarily through the use of Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\jsontemplates) in all file path examples, with no equivalent Linux/macOS examples provided. Windows paths are shown first and exclusively in command samples, and installation references prioritize Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool). The local cache location is described for Windows first and in more detail, while Linux and Mac are mentioned briefly and generically. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command examples for file paths, and PowerShell is referenced in installation guidance and next steps, but Bash or Linux shell alternatives are not.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS path examples (e.g., /home/user/jsontemplates or ~/jsontemplates) alongside Windows paths in all command samples.
  • Alternate the order of platform-specific examples so Linux/macOS is not always listed after Windows.
  • Include installation and usage instructions for Bash/Linux shell environments, not just Azure PowerShell.
  • Reference Linux tools and conventions (such as environment variables, file system paths) equally with Windows equivalents.
  • In 'Next steps', add links to Linux/Bash deployment guides if available, or clarify parity between platforms.
