Summary
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity, but there are subtle biases toward Windows. Windows command-line examples are provided alongside Bash, and Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, MSI installers) are mentioned without always giving equal prominence to Linux alternatives. The documentation references 'command prompt' and 'func.exe' (a Windows-specific executable name) and sometimes lists Windows tools before Linux equivalents. PowerShell is treated as a first-class language, which may not reflect its usage on Linux.
Recommendations
  • When providing command-line examples, always include both Bash (Linux/macOS) and Windows (cmd/PowerShell) versions, and clearly label them.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology like 'command prompt' or 'func.exe' in generic sections; use 'terminal' and 'func' instead.
  • When referencing tools for authentication or deployment (e.g., Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell), ensure Linux installation and usage instructions are equally prominent.
  • If PowerShell is mentioned as a language or scripting environment, clarify its cross-platform availability and provide Bash alternatives where appropriate.
  • In sections discussing installation or upgrades, provide explicit instructions for Linux (e.g., apt, yum, npm) alongside Windows (MSI) methods.
  • Ensure that any references to file paths, environment variables, or configuration files use cross-platform conventions or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS examples.
