Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for every CLI command, but PowerShell is always presented as a first-class citizen alongside Bash, rather than as a secondary or alternative option. In some cases, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence, which can be interpreted as a Windows bias, especially since Linux users typically use Bash and Windows users use PowerShell. There are no Linux-specific tools, patterns, or troubleshooting steps mentioned, and no explicit references to Linux environments or considerations. The documentation does not mention WSL, Linux file paths, or shell differences, and does not address potential issues that may arise when running these commands on Linux versus Windows. All CLI commands are cross-platform (Azure CLI), but the parity in examples does not extend to Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that all Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and clarify any OS-specific considerations.
  • Provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., file permissions, path formats, environment variable syntax differences).
  • Include Linux-specific notes where relevant, such as differences in shell behavior, quoting, or file handling.
  • Consider adding a dedicated Linux section for advanced users, or at least a note about compatibility with Linux distributions.
  • Mention that Bash examples are suitable for Linux/macOS, and PowerShell for Windows, to guide users to the correct tab for their OS.
  • If possible, add examples using native Linux tools (e.g., jq for JSON parsing, curl for REST calls) where appropriate.
