Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific instructions and tools (e.g., Notepad, WinUtils.exe, Cygwin) are mentioned explicitly and often before or instead of Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell is referenced for VPN setup, and the hosts file editing is described only for Windows. The workaround for WinUtils.exe is Windows-only, and there is no guidance for Linux/macOS users for these steps. While some steps (e.g., SSH, IntelliJ usage) are cross-platform, critical configuration and troubleshooting steps lack Linux/macOS parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux/macOS (e.g., /etc/hosts with sudo and a text editor like nano or vi).
  • Clarify that the WinUtils.exe workaround is only needed for Windows, and explain that Linux/macOS do not require this step.
  • Include Linux/macOS alternatives for copying files (e.g., using native scp in the terminal, not Cygwin).
  • Add VPN setup instructions using Azure CLI or portal for Linux/macOS users, not just PowerShell.
  • Review all file path examples and provide Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., forward slashes, home directories).
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for IntelliJ and Azure Toolkit steps, and highlight any OS-specific differences.
