Summary
The documentation page for Azure Functions Core Tools exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as 'func.exe', PowerShell managed dependencies, and the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator (Windows-only). Windows terminology and tooling are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and some features (like log streaming) are noted as unsupported for Linux in certain plans. There are no explicit Linux shell examples, and installation or usage patterns for Linux are not described or linked directly. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric workflows and omits Linux-specific guidance or parity in several areas.
Recommendations
- Include explicit Linux and macOS examples for all commands, especially where file paths, environment variables, or shell usage may differ.
- Reference Linux equivalents for tools such as the Azure Storage Emulator (e.g., Azurite), and provide guidance for Linux users.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., '.exe' suffix) in the main description; clarify cross-platform availability.
- Where features are not supported on Linux, provide alternative workflows or workarounds for Linux users.
- Add installation and troubleshooting sections for Linux and macOS, with links to relevant documentation.
- Ensure that PowerShell-specific options and behaviors are clearly marked as such, and provide parity for Bash or other shells where possible.
