Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Many examples and workflow steps use PowerShell scripts and Windows-centric tooling (e.g., AzPowershell, AzureCLI with 'pscore', PowerShell@2 tasks), often without providing equivalent bash or Linux shell alternatives. The use of PowerShell is prominent in both GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines examples, and Windows-specific terminology (e.g., AzPowershell session) appears before or instead of Linux/macOS options. There are no explicit bash or Linux shell script examples, and the documentation does not clarify cross-platform compatibility for these steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash or Linux shell script examples alongside PowerShell examples, especially for CI steps.
  • Clarify when PowerShell usage is required and when bash/sh alternatives are supported, especially for AzureCLI and GitHub Actions steps.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for all CLI commands and scripts.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic commands (e.g., 'npm ci', 'npx playwright test') and minimize reliance on Windows-specific tooling.
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux/macOS users, showing how to adapt authentication and workflow steps without PowerShell.
