Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Many critical automation and setup examples are provided only in PowerShell, with explicit instructions to use PowerShell ISE and Windows-centric scripting patterns. Linux/macOS equivalents are either missing or referenced only as an afterthought (e.g., checking $PSVersionTable.Platform for 'Unix'), and some steps (such as application registration and Azure DevOps setup) lack clear Bash or Linux-native alternatives. The ordering of examples and instructions frequently places Windows/PowerShell first, with Linux support implied but not detailed.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell scripts, especially for application registration and Azure DevOps setup.
  • Include explicit instructions and code samples for Linux/macOS users, not just conditional checks for Unix platforms.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell ISE) as the default; suggest cross-platform editors like VS Code.
  • Structure examples so that both Windows and Linux/macOS instructions are presented side-by-side or in parallel sections.
  • Clarify any platform-specific requirements or limitations up front.
