Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and environments before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. For example, instructions for running commands on Windows mention Git Bash as the primary shell, while Linux/WSL users are directed to Bash. The prerequisites section provides detailed steps for installing Git Bash on Windows, but does not offer equivalent installation guidance for Bash on Linux. Additionally, the documentation refers to environment variable setup for Windows, but omits similar details for Linux. However, most command-line examples use cross-platform tools (cURL, Python, Azure CLI), and the document does acknowledge Linux and WSL compatibility.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Provide installation instructions for Bash or required tools on Linux, not just Windows.
  • Mention native Linux terminals (e.g., GNOME Terminal, Konsole) alongside Git Bash for Windows.
  • Include notes on environment variable setup for Linux if relevant.
  • Explicitly state that all examples work natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows (with Git Bash or WSL), and clarify any OS-specific caveats.
  • Where possible, use OS-neutral language (e.g., 'open a terminal') rather than 'open Git Bash'.
