Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation generally presents cross-platform instructions, but there is subtle Windows bias. Visual Studio Code is recommended as the text editor, which is a Microsoft product, and the environment variable examples list Windows shells (PowerShell, CMD) after Linux/macOS shells but still include them. No explicit Linux-only tools or editors are mentioned, and the screenshots and instructions do not show Linux-specific environments. There are no missing Linux examples, but Windows tools are referenced and the editor recommendation is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Recommend a truly cross-platform text editor (e.g., VS Code, Sublime Text, Vim) or mention alternatives for Linux users.
  • Include screenshots or terminal prompts from Linux/macOS environments alongside Windows examples.
  • Explicitly state that all commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and highlight any platform-specific differences.
  • Add a note about installing Azure CLI on Linux and macOS, not just linking to the generic install page.
  • Consider listing Linux/macOS shells first in environment variable examples, or randomize the order to avoid implicit prioritization.
