Summary
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity, but there are subtle Windows biases. Windows command line and PowerShell are frequently referenced, sometimes before or instead of Linux equivalents. Examples for HTTP triggers and non-HTTP triggers show both Bash and Windows CMD, but the Windows example is always present and sometimes appears first. The use of 'func.exe' in explanations and references to Windows-specific tools (such as MSI installers) further reinforce a Windows-centric perspective. There is also a strong presence of PowerShell as a primary language pivot, which may not be as relevant for Linux users. However, Linux and macOS are not excluded, and Bash/cURL examples are provided.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Bash/Linux examples are always presented first or equally alongside Windows CMD/PowerShell examples.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology like 'func.exe' in general explanations—use 'func' unless specifically discussing Windows.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, ensure that equivalent Bash or shell commands are also provided and clearly labeled.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS support and installation methods where Windows-specific instructions (e.g., MSI) are given.
  • In tool prerequisites, mention Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash, zsh, sh) and package managers (apt, yum, brew) alongside Windows tools.
  • Review quickstart and reference links to ensure they do not default to Windows/PowerShell pivots.
  • Consider adding a short section or callout for Linux/macOS users to highlight any differences or tips for those platforms.
