Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for all CLI commands, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to Bash, which may indicate a slight Windows bias. The use of PowerShell is emphasized throughout, and Windows tooling (PowerShell) is always presented alongside Bash, rather than focusing on cross-platform shell usage. There are no Linux-specific tools or patterns mentioned, and the Azure portal instructions use generic browser-based steps, which are platform-neutral. However, the inclusion of PowerShell in every example and its equal status to Bash may suggest a bias towards Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Consider prioritizing Bash examples, as Bash is available on both Linux and Windows (via WSL or Git Bash), while PowerShell is primarily a Windows tool.
  • Add explicit notes about cross-platform compatibility, e.g., clarify that Bash commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows (with WSL/Git Bash), while PowerShell is mainly for Windows.
  • Include troubleshooting or environment setup steps for Linux users, such as verifying the Azure CLI installation on Ubuntu or Fedora.
  • If PowerShell is retained, clarify its intended audience (e.g., 'For Windows users, use PowerShell; for Linux/macOS, use Bash').
  • Highlight any differences or considerations for Linux users, such as file permissions or environment variable syntax.
