Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting PowerShell instructions and examples before Azure CLI/Bash equivalents, using Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Windows batch syntax), and referencing Windows environments and commands more prominently. While Bash examples are included, Windows/PowerShell approaches are given precedence and more detailed coverage.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of examples so that Bash/Azure CLI instructions are presented before PowerShell/Windows examples in some sections.
- Provide equal detail and explanation for Bash/Azure CLI workflows as is given for PowerShell.
- Avoid using Windows batch syntax (e.g., 'set VAR=VALUE') unless absolutely necessary, and clarify when Bash syntax is preferred for cross-platform use.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility and environments where appropriate, including installation and usage notes for Azure CLI on those platforms.
- Add troubleshooting or environment-specific notes for Linux users, such as file permissions, shell differences, or common issues.
- Review related content links to ensure parity between PowerShell and CLI/Bash documentation.
