Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows tools (PowerShell), providing Windows-centric instructions (e.g., opening Windows PowerShell), and using Windows file paths in examples. PowerShell is given its own section, and instructions often mention Windows before Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash), and references to local CLI usage default to Windows environments. Linux-specific instructions, file paths, or troubleshooting are missing.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Bash shell examples alongside PowerShell, especially for Azure CLI usage.
  • Use cross-platform file path examples (e.g., /home/user/site) in addition to Windows paths (e.g., C:\temp\index.html).
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and AzCopy are cross-platform and provide installation/use instructions for Linux and macOS.
  • Avoid phrases like 'open a Windows PowerShell command window'; instead, use 'open a terminal or command prompt'.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, path formats).
  • Ensure parity in step-by-step instructions for Linux/macOS users, including screenshots or terminal commands where appropriate.
