Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) and patterns, and by suggesting Windows PowerShell as the default local shell for Azure CLI usage. Examples use Windows file paths (e.g., C:\demo-file.txt) and mention Windows PowerShell before alternatives. There is little to no mention of Linux shells (e.g., Bash), Linux file paths, or cross-platform considerations in command examples.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands can be run in Bash or other Linux shells, not just Windows PowerShell.
  • Provide Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., /home/user/demo-file.txt) alongside Windows paths.
  • Use neutral language when referring to local shells, such as 'open a command console (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Terminal)'.
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux/macOS usage where relevant, especially for command-line examples.
  • Ensure that instructions for installing and running tools (like Azure CLI) include Linux/macOS steps and references.
  • Avoid implying that PowerShell is the default or preferred shell for Azure CLI unless specifically required.
