Summary
The documentation shows a mild Windows bias in the 'Set environment variables' section, where the PowerShell (Windows) method is presented first and explicitly, while the Linux/macOS (bash) method is shown second and without introductory explanation. The PowerShell example is also more prominent, and there is no mention of macOS. The rest of the documentation uses Azure CLI and bash syntax, which is cross-platform, but the initial environment variable setup may cause confusion or friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable examples for Windows (PowerShell), Linux (bash), and macOS (zsh/bash) side by side or in parallel sections.
  • Explicitly state that the bash examples work on both Linux and macOS.
  • Avoid presenting Windows/PowerShell examples first by default; consider alternating or using tabs for OS-specific instructions.
  • Add a short note clarifying how to set environment variables on each supported OS.
  • Where possible, provide parity in screenshots or GUI steps for Linux/macOS users if relevant (e.g., Azure Portal steps are OS-agnostic, but CLI/terminal screenshots could reflect both environments).
