Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows-style file paths (e.g., C:\Templates\...) in all code examples, regardless of tool or platform. There are no examples or notes for Linux/macOS users regarding file path conventions or alternative locations. This creates friction for non-Windows users, who must adapt instructions to their environment. While the CLI and PowerShell commands themselves are cross-platform, the file path usage and lack of Linux/macOS-specific guidance represent a notable Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows and Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., C:\Templates\... and ~/Templates/...) in all code blocks and instructions.
  • Add a note clarifying that file paths should be adapted to the user's operating system.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and PowerShell are available on Linux/macOS, and provide platform-specific installation links if possible.
  • Where possible, use environment variables or relative paths in examples to increase portability.
  • Review images and screenshots to ensure they do not exclusively show Windows environments if not necessary.
