Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using PowerShell syntax for all Azure CLI commands, stating 'we're using PowerShell' without offering Bash or Linux shell alternatives. Variable assignment and command chaining use PowerShell-specific patterns, which may not work in Bash or other Unix shells. No Linux or macOS terminal instructions or examples are provided, potentially hindering users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples using Bash syntax for variable assignment and command execution, especially for Azure CLI commands.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works cross-platform and explicitly mention support for Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Avoid PowerShell-specific constructs (e.g., $Variable, $(...)) in generic CLI documentation, or offer both PowerShell and Bash alternatives.
  • Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users, with instructions tailored to their environments.
  • Use neutral language such as 'open your terminal of choice' and show both PowerShell and Bash examples side by side.
