Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows-style paths (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory\myTextFile.txt') in all command examples and does not provide any Linux/macOS equivalents (such as '/home/user/myTextFile.txt'). While there are notes about quoting differences between shells, the examples themselves are exclusively Windows-centric, which may confuse or inconvenience Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples using Linux/macOS path formats (e.g., '/home/user/myTextFile.txt') alongside Windows examples.
  • Explicitly mention and show how to run AzCopy commands in bash/zsh shells, including correct quoting and path conventions.
  • Include a section or table summarizing differences in path formats and quoting between Windows (cmd.exe, PowerShell) and Linux/macOS shells.
  • Ensure that all scenarios (single file, directory, wildcard, etc.) have both Windows and Linux/macOS command examples.
