Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (AzPowershell, Azure PowerShell, AzureCLI with 'pscore') are used for authentication and workflow steps, often as the primary or only example. There is frequent mention of PowerShell and Windows-specific commands, and no explicit Linux shell (bash/sh) equivalents are provided for authentication or scripting steps. The use of Windows tools and patterns appears before or instead of cross-platform alternatives, and there is a lack of parity in showing Linux-native approaches.
Recommendations
  • Provide bash/sh equivalents for all PowerShell commands and workflow steps, especially for authentication and scripting in CI pipelines.
  • Explicitly mention and demonstrate how to perform setup and authentication steps on Linux/macOS environments, including using Azure CLI in bash.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., AzPowershell, PowerShell@2) as the default; instead, present cross-platform alternatives first or side-by-side.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require adaptation, and offer guidance for users on Linux/macOS.
  • Include sample CI workflow snippets using bash or sh for both GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines.
  • Review and update code blocks and instructions to ensure they work seamlessly on Linux/macOS systems, not just Windows.
