Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. In the Azure CLI section, Windows PowerShell is mentioned as the example console application before any Linux or macOS alternatives. The PowerShell tab is present as a first-class option, with explicit instructions to use 'Windows PowerShell' and PowerShell-specific cmdlets. There is no mention of Linux shells (e.g., Bash) or macOS terminals, nor are there any examples tailored for those platforms. The documentation refers to Windows tools and patterns (e.g., 'Open a Windows PowerShell command window') without providing equivalent guidance for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
  • When referencing command consoles for Azure CLI, mention Bash (Linux/macOS) and Windows PowerShell equally, e.g., 'open a command console such as Bash (Linux/macOS) or PowerShell (Windows)'.
  • Add a Bash example tab alongside PowerShell, or clarify that Azure CLI commands work in Bash, Zsh, and other shells.
  • Avoid phrases like 'Open a Windows PowerShell command window' unless specifically required; use platform-neutral language such as 'Open your preferred command-line interface'.
  • Provide explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users where relevant, including installation or environment notes.
  • Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions do not assume a Windows environment unless the feature is Windows-only.
