Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. In several places, Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and Cmd) are presented alongside Bash, but Windows shells are listed first. The Java section provides examples for Bash, PowerShell, and Cmd, but Bash is not consistently prioritized. There is mention of setting JAVA_HOME, which is relevant for both platforms, but the example paths and instructions are not platform-neutral. The documentation refers to 'terminal or command prompt' generically, but does not provide explicit Linux-specific instructions or troubleshooting. There are no explicit examples of Linux-specific tools (e.g., shell scripts, environment variable export patterns), and the use of 'console' as a code block type is ambiguous. The inclusion of jq and Azure CLI is platform-neutral, but the overall pattern leans toward Windows-first presentation.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Bash (Linux/macOS) examples are listed before or alongside Windows (PowerShell/Cmd) examples, especially in multi-tab sections.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS terminals and provide troubleshooting or setup notes for those platforms.
  • When referencing environment variables (e.g., JAVA_HOME), provide both Windows (set) and Linux/macOS (export) syntax.
  • Use platform-neutral terminology (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt') and clarify any platform-specific steps.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS shell script examples where appropriate, and clarify any differences in file paths or permissions.
  • Review included snippets (INCLUDE blocks) to ensure they do not assume Windows tooling or patterns.
