Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and Azure PowerShell examples for all CLI steps, but PowerShell is featured equally and sometimes first, which can be interpreted as a Windows bias. There are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific instructions or troubleshooting notes, and some steps (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Java SDK usage) require Bash, but this is only briefly mentioned. There is no mention of Linux-specific nuances, nor are alternative shells (e.g., zsh, fish) or macOS-specific instructions provided.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate which steps are platform-specific, especially where Bash is required for Python, JavaScript, and Java samples.
  • Provide explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users, including shell compatibility notes and troubleshooting tips for common issues (e.g., path separators, environment variable syntax).
  • Add parity for PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, or clarify that Azure PowerShell examples are for Windows only.
  • Consider listing Bash examples first, as Bash is more universal across platforms.
  • Include notes about alternative editors and shells commonly used on Linux/macOS.
  • Add a table or section summarizing platform compatibility for each step.
