Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments by consistently referencing PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., AzPowershell, PowerShell@2, scriptType: 'pscore') in CI/CD examples for both GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines. Windows-centric terminology and tooling appear before or instead of Linux equivalents, even though the CI runners are set to Ubuntu. There is a lack of explicit Linux shell (bash/sh) examples, and Windows/PowerShell patterns are presented as the default or recommended approach.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash/sh examples for all CI/CD steps, especially for authentication and dependency installation.
  • Avoid using PowerShell-specific tasks or scripts as the default in YAML examples; offer both PowerShell and bash alternatives.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and authentication steps can be performed using bash on Linux runners, and show those workflows.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform commands (e.g., npm, npx, dotnet) outside of PowerShell contexts.
  • Explicitly mention Linux and macOS compatibility in setup instructions and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Review and update documentation to ensure Linux-first or at least Linux-equal representation in examples and tooling references.
