Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. Windows tools (cmd, PowerShell) are mentioned before Linux equivalents in several places, and authentication instructions include PowerShell and Azure CLI, but do not mention Bash or Linux-specific sign-in flows. The 'Open the project in Visual Studio Code' step assumes the 'code' command is available, which is more common on Windows. The environment variable setup provides both Windows (setx) and Linux (export) instructions, but Windows is listed first. There are no explicit Linux-only examples or troubleshooting tips, and some steps (e.g., using Visual Studio Code) may be less familiar to Linux/macOS users. However, most commands are cross-platform and Linux users can complete the quickstart with minor adaptation.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS examples before or alongside Windows examples, especially for environment variable setup and authentication.
  • Include Bash-specific sign-in instructions (e.g., Azure CLI in Bash) and clarify that all commands work in Bash/Terminal on Linux/macOS.
  • Mention alternative editors (e.g., nano, vim) for opening files, or clarify that 'code .' is optional.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, installing VS Code CLI tools).
  • Explicitly state that all steps are cross-platform unless noted, and link to platform-specific guides where appropriate.
