Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Many examples and workflow steps rely on PowerShell, AzPowerShell, or Windows-centric tools (e.g., Azure PowerShell, PowerShell@2, scriptType: 'pscore'). In authentication and CI setup, Windows/PowerShell methods are mentioned first or exclusively, with no equivalent bash or Linux shell examples. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS command-line alternatives, and the use of PowerShell is assumed even when the runner is 'ubuntu-latest'. This may hinder Linux users or those using non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash/shell examples for authentication and CI steps, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting language in CI workflows; offer both PowerShell and bash alternatives.
  • Mention cross-platform tools and commands before or alongside Windows-specific ones.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require adaptation for non-Windows environments.
  • Explicitly state compatibility and provide troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS users where PowerShell or Windows tools are referenced.
