Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting all command-line examples in PowerShell syntax, explicitly stating that Azure CLI runs in a PowerShell instance, and using Windows-style variable assignment and command substitution (e.g., $var = $(...)). There are no Linux shell (bash/zsh) equivalents provided, nor any mention of how to adapt the examples for Linux or macOS environments. The documentation assumes a Windows/PowerShell context throughout, which may hinder accessibility for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash/zsh examples for all command-line steps, using Linux-style variable assignment and command substitution (e.g., var=$(...) instead of $var = $(...)).
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be run in any shell, not just PowerShell.
  • Add notes or sections explicitly addressing Linux/macOS usage, including any differences in file paths, environment setup, or command syntax.
  • Avoid language that implies PowerShell is the default or only environment (e.g., 'runs in a PowerShell instance'); instead, use neutral phrasing such as 'in your terminal'.
  • Where scripts are provided, offer both PowerShell and bash versions, or use syntax compatible with both where possible.
