Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: file path examples consistently use Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\jsontemplates), with no equivalent Linux/macOS examples (e.g., /home/user/jsontemplates). Windows paths are shown first and exclusively in command examples, and references to installation and usage often mention Azure PowerShell and Windows tools before Linux alternatives. The documentation does mention Linux and macOS in some places (e.g., cache location), but command usage and examples are overwhelmingly Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS path examples alongside Windows paths for all commands that reference file locations (e.g., use /home/user/jsontemplates or ~/jsontemplates).
- Alternate the order of examples so that Linux/macOS paths are shown first in some sections, or present both side-by-side.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for commands and clarify any OS-specific behaviors.
- Include installation and usage instructions for Linux/macOS environments with equal prominence as Windows/PowerShell.
- Where possible, use environment variables (e.g., $HOME, %USERPROFILE%) or generic paths to avoid OS-specific bias.
