Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several ways: file path examples consistently use Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\jsontemplates) without providing Linux/macOS equivalents; installation and usage instructions frequently reference Azure PowerShell and Windows-specific conventions before or instead of Linux alternatives; and some commands (e.g., install, upgrade, list-versions) are only shown for Azure CLI, which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows. Cache location examples do mention Linux and Mac, but command examples and file paths are predominantly Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • For every example using a Windows file path (e.g., c:\jsontemplates), provide a Linux/macOS equivalent (e.g., /home/user/jsontemplates) side-by-side.
  • When referencing installation methods, mention Linux and macOS processes equally alongside Windows and PowerShell.
  • Ensure that command examples and explanations do not assume Windows as the default environment; use generic or platform-neutral paths and conventions where possible.
  • Add explicit notes or tabs for Linux/macOS users where behavior, paths, or conventions differ.
  • In sections about named pipes and sockets, clarify platform differences and provide examples for both Windows and Unix-like systems.
  • Review all examples and ensure parity in coverage and clarity for Linux/macOS users.
