Summary
The documentation exhibits several Windows-centric patterns: file paths are exclusively shown in Windows format (e.g., C:\Templates\...), and all code examples use Windows-style paths without mention of Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell is featured heavily and often first, with no mention of Bash or other Linux-native shells. There are references to Windows-specific issues (e.g., variable assignment in PowerShell), and the portal instructions assume Windows file paths. No Linux/macOS-specific instructions, file path formats, or troubleshooting notes are provided.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., ~/Templates/createStorageV1.json) alongside Windows paths.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works cross-platform and provide Bash/zsh shell examples where relevant.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS users, such as file permissions or shell differences.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are for Windows, and offer Bash alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Update portal instructions to note that file selection dialogs will differ on non-Windows platforms.
  • Where issues are Windows-specific (e.g., variable assignment in PowerShell), provide Linux/macOS context or alternatives.
