Summary
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows command-line examples are provided alongside Bash, and references to 'command prompt' and 'func.exe' (the Windows executable) appear throughout. Azure PowerShell is mentioned as a primary tool for publishing, and PowerShell is given equal prominence as a language, which may not reflect typical Linux workflows. The documentation sometimes lists Windows tools or patterns before Linux equivalents, and references to Windows-specific behaviors (such as MSI installation and func.exe) are present.
Recommendations
- When showing command-line examples, always present Bash (Linux/macOS) examples first, or provide both Bash and Windows CMD/PowerShell examples side by side.
- Avoid referring to the Functions host as 'func.exe'—use 'func' or 'the Functions host' to be platform-neutral.
- When mentioning prerequisites or tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell), clarify which are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific, and ensure Linux-first or parity in instructions.
- Where PowerShell is referenced as a language, clarify its cross-platform availability and provide Bash alternatives where appropriate.
- Review installation and upgrade instructions to ensure Linux package managers (apt, yum, brew, npm) are given equal or greater prominence compared to Windows installers.
- Audit all references to Windows-specific behaviors or terminology and provide Linux/macOS equivalents where relevant.
