Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias, primarily through the use of Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\jsontemplates) in all CLI examples, with no equivalent Linux/macOS paths provided. Windows paths are shown first and exclusively in command examples, and references to installation and usage frequently mention Azure PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling before Linux alternatives. While Linux/macOS users can generally infer the correct usage, the lack of explicit examples and parity creates friction.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS path examples (e.g., /home/user/jsontemplates) alongside Windows paths in all CLI command samples.
- Add notes or tabs indicating platform-specific differences for file paths and environment variables.
- Mention Linux/macOS installation and usage methods equally and early, not just Windows/Azure PowerShell.
- Where environment variables or cache locations are referenced, show all platforms in parallel (as done in the restore section, but apply this pattern throughout).
- Avoid using only Windows-centric tooling or terminology (e.g., 'SHIFT+ALT+F' for formatting in VS Code) without mentioning Linux/macOS equivalents.
