Summary
The documentation provides examples and instructions for both Windows and Linux/macOS users, but there are several subtle Windows biases. Windows tools (PowerShell, cmd) are mentioned alongside cross-platform options, and some examples (such as cURL usage) show Windows command line syntax first or in parallel with Bash. The requirement for Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell is stated, but Azure CLI is cross-platform. References to func.exe and mention of MSI installers reinforce Windows-centric patterns. However, Linux/macOS users are not blocked from completing any tasks, and most commands are cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux/macOS shell examples (bash/zsh) are shown before or alongside Windows cmd/PowerShell examples, rather than after.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
- Replace references to func.exe with 'func' or 'Azure Functions Core Tools executable' to avoid Windows-specific terminology.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, provide equivalent bash/zsh commands or clarify when PowerShell is required.
- When discussing installation, link to Linux/macOS installation guides (e.g., npm, Homebrew) as prominently as Windows MSI.
- Review all examples for unnecessary Windows-first ordering and ensure parity for Linux/macOS users.
