Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell syntax and variable assignment patterns throughout, even though Azure CLI is cross-platform. There are no Bash or Linux/macOS shell examples, and the tutorial explicitly states 'we're using PowerShell,' which may confuse or hinder Linux/macOS users. All code samples use PowerShell variable syntax ($Variable), which does not work in Bash or other Unix shells.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Linux shell examples for all CLI commands, using Bash variable syntax and patterns.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works on all platforms and that examples are available for both PowerShell and Bash.
  • Avoid language like 'we're using PowerShell' unless alternatives are also provided.
  • Consider reordering or presenting examples in parallel (PowerShell and Bash side-by-side) to avoid Windows-first perception.
