Summary
The documentation consistently references Windows tools and patterns, such as PowerShell and Windows file paths, and often suggests Windows PowerShell as the default local shell for Azure CLI, even though CLI and AzCopy are cross-platform. Examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., C:\demo-file.txt) and mention Windows PowerShell before alternatives. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples, nor are shell options like Bash or zsh mentioned. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, though most commands are technically cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific examples, such as using Bash/zsh and Unix-style file paths (e.g., /home/user/demo-file.txt).
  • Replace references to 'Windows PowerShell' with 'your preferred shell' or mention Bash/zsh alongside PowerShell.
  • Add notes clarifying that Azure CLI and AzCopy commands work on Linux/macOS and provide installation links for those platforms.
  • Show example commands with both Windows and Unix-style file paths.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for all tools and commands.
