Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the installation instructions for the Azure Developer CLI, where only a PowerShell-based command is provided and no Linux/macOS installation example is shown. The use of PowerShell as the default shell in CLI examples and the absence of explicit Linux or cross-platform shell commands further reinforce this bias. While the rest of the documentation is generally platform-agnostic (using azd CLI commands that work cross-platform), the initial setup experience is skewed toward Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit installation instructions for Linux and macOS, including bash/curl-based commands alongside the PowerShell example.
  • Clearly label installation commands by platform (e.g., Windows, Linux, macOS) using tabs or headings.
  • Ensure all CLI examples use cross-platform shell syntax where possible, or provide both PowerShell and bash/zsh equivalents.
  • Mention any platform-specific prerequisites or differences in behavior, if applicable.
  • Consider including screenshots or terminal output from Linux/macOS environments in addition to Windows/PowerShell.
