Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows commands (CMD and PowerShell) are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, with more detail and multiple options for Windows (CMD and PowerShell) but only a single example for Linux/macOS. Proxy configuration and bypass instructions are Windows-centric, with explicit commands for Windows and only a brief note for Linux/macOS. Some environment variable descriptions (e.g., AZCOPY_CACHE_PROXY_LOOKUP, AZCOPY_PARALLEL_STAT_FILES) reference Windows-specific behavior or optimizations, and the documentation generally assumes Windows as the default platform.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and macOS examples before or alongside Windows examples to avoid ordering bias.
- Provide equivalent detail for Linux/macOS commands, including shell variants (bash, zsh, etc.) and edge cases.
- Explicitly mention platform-specific behaviors for all supported OSes, not just Windows.
- Include troubleshooting and optimization tips for Linux/macOS environments, similar to those provided for Windows.
- Clarify when defaults or behaviors differ between platforms, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
- Add examples for bypassing proxies on Linux/macOS, rather than only stating to leave the variable unset.
