Summary:
The documentation provides detailed instructions for moving an Azure Web PubSub resource using the Azure Portal and Azure PowerShell, but does not include any examples or guidance for Linux users or alternative CLI tools (such as Azure CLI or Bash scripting). PowerShell is featured exclusively for command-line operations, and Windows-specific tools like 'notepad' are referenced for editing JSON files.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI (az) commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
- Replace or supplement the 'notepad' editor reference with cross-platform alternatives such as 'vi', 'nano', or 'code', or use generic language like 'open the file in your preferred text editor'.
- Explicitly mention that the steps can be performed on Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and provide sample commands.
- Ensure that any PowerShell-specific instructions are accompanied by Azure CLI equivalents, especially for exporting, editing, and deploying ARM templates.
- Review the documentation for other Windows-centric terminology or assumptions and revise to be OS-agnostic where possible.

Flagged Code Snippets
7. To obtain region location codes, see [Azure Web PubSub Locations](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=web-pubsub). The code for a region is the region name with no spaces, **Central US** = **centralus**.
8. You can also change other parameters in the template if you choose, and are optional depending on your requirements.
9. Save the **\<resource-group-name>.json** file.
10. Create a resource group in the target region for the target Web PubSub resource to be deployed using [New-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroup).
11. Deploy the edited **\<resource-group-name>.json** file to the resource group created in the previous step using [New-AzResourceGroupDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroupdeployment):
12. To verify the resources were created in the target region, use [Get-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azresourcegroup) and [Get-AzWebPubSub](/powershell/module/az.signalr/get-azwebpubsub):
## Discard
After the deployment, if you wish to start over or discard the Web PubSub resource in the target, delete the resource group that was created in the target and the moved Web PubSub resource will be deleted. To do so, select the resource group from your dashboard in the portal and select **Delete** at the top of the overview page. Alternatively you can use [Remove-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/remove-azresourcegroup):
