Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In the section on setting AWS credentials, Windows (PowerShell and Command Prompt) commands are listed first, with Linux and macOS equivalents following. There is a specific note about quoting conventions that prioritizes Windows (cmd.exe) behavior. No Linux-specific tools or shell patterns are discussed, and all command examples use generic AzCopy syntax that works cross-platform. However, Windows-specific instructions and conventions are mentioned before Linux/macOS equivalents, and PowerShell is referenced explicitly.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable commands in alphabetical OS order (Linux, macOS, Windows) or group Linux/macOS together before Windows, to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Include Bash and zsh shell examples where relevant, especially for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add a note clarifying that AzCopy works identically across platforms and highlight any platform-specific caveats equally.
  • When discussing quoting conventions, lead with the cross-platform (single quotes) approach, then mention Windows (cmd.exe) as an exception.
  • Consider providing a table or section that summarizes platform differences in usage, rather than embedding Windows-first notes.
