Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through the exclusive use of PowerShell syntax in CLI examples (notably in the May 2025 release), and the absence of Linux/bash equivalents for those commands. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the documentation assumes a Windows environment by default in some examples, and does not provide Linux-specific guidance or examples. There is also a tendency to present Windows-oriented tooling (PowerShell) before or instead of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/bash equivalents for all CLI examples, especially where PowerShell syntax is used (e.g., replace backticks with backslashes for line continuation, use $VARIABLE or export for environment variables).
- Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work on both Windows and Linux, and show examples for both platforms where syntax differs.
- Avoid using only PowerShell-specific syntax in documentation; use platform-neutral command formats where possible.
- Include notes or sections on Linux prerequisites, troubleshooting, and environment setup to ensure parity.
- Review all examples and ensure that Linux users are equally supported and not required to adapt Windows-centric instructions.
