Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation exhibits mild Windows bias in several areas. In authentication instructions, PowerShell is listed as a primary method for signing in, with a dedicated tab and example, while Linux shell alternatives are not equivalently highlighted. In environment variable setup, Windows instructions (setx) are presented before Linux (export), and the Windows method is described with more detail (e.g., note about restarting the command window). The initial project setup mentions both PowerShell and Bash, but does not provide platform-specific examples beyond that. Overall, Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first or with greater emphasis, and PowerShell is given a dedicated authentication section, while Linux equivalents (e.g., Bash, zsh) are not.
Recommendations
  • Ensure equal prominence for Linux and macOS tools in authentication instructions, such as including Bash/zsh examples and tabs alongside PowerShell.
  • Present environment variable setup instructions for Linux/macOS before or alongside Windows, with equal detail (e.g., note about shell session requirements).
  • Where platform-specific instructions are needed, provide parallel examples for both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (Bash/zsh), and avoid listing Windows first by default.
  • Add explicit notes or tabs for Linux/macOS authentication via Azure CLI and shell, matching the detail given to PowerShell.
  • Review all command-line instructions to ensure terminology and examples are inclusive of all major platforms.
