Summary
The documentation generally avoids explicit Windows bias by using cross-platform CLI tools (azd, func) and providing Linux/macOS instructions for Python virtual environments. However, there are subtle signs of Windows bias: Windows command prompt and bash instructions are listed separately and before Linux/macOS in some sections, and references to 'command prompt' (a Windows term) are used throughout. The use of .venv\scripts\activate (Windows path) is shown as a tab, but Linux/macOS instructions are present and clear. No PowerShell-specific examples or Windows-only tools are present, and all major steps can be completed on Linux/macOS. The severity of bias is low.
Recommendations
  • Use 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt' for platform-neutral language.
  • List Linux/macOS instructions before Windows where possible, or present them side-by-side.
  • Ensure all examples and instructions are explicitly cross-platform, especially in code blocks and file paths.
  • Add explicit notes when a command or tool behaves differently on Windows vs. Linux/macOS.
  • Review all references to Windows-specific terminology and replace with neutral alternatives.
