Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, notably by presenting Windows/PowerShell commands before Unix/Linux equivalents, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, 'py' launcher), and sometimes omitting explicit Linux/macOS examples or guidance. While Linux is acknowledged as the Azure Functions runtime environment, and some Unix commands are included, the structure and examples often prioritize or assume Windows usage, which can create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS and Windows examples side-by-side, or default to Linux first since Azure Functions runs on Linux.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools (e.g., 'py' launcher, PowerShell) without providing equivalent Linux/macOS commands.
  • Ensure all command-line examples are provided for both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (Bash), using clear tabs or sections.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform commands (e.g., 'python3' instead of 'py') in documentation.
  • Explicitly mention when a step or tool is Windows-only, and provide alternatives for Linux/macOS.
  • Review all troubleshooting steps to ensure Linux/macOS users have clear, actionable guidance.
