Summary
The documentation for Azure Functions Core Tools is generally cross-platform, but there are several subtle Windows biases. Windows tools and behaviors (such as .pfx certificate handling, trusted certificate creation, and PowerShell managed dependencies) are mentioned without Linux/macOS equivalents or with Windows-specific caveats shown first. The documentation references Windows behaviors and issues (e.g., Python packaging on Windows for Linux deployment) before Linux/macOS, and some options (like managed dependencies) are PowerShell-specific. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command examples or troubleshooting tips, and Windows terminology (e.g., 'command prompt') is used throughout.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS examples and troubleshooting tips alongside Windows-specific notes.
- Where Windows-only features or behaviors are described (e.g., certificate creation, Python packaging), provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions or clarify differences.
- Avoid using Windows terminology (e.g., 'command prompt') as the default; use 'terminal' or clarify OS-specific terms.
- Mention cross-platform tools and patterns equally, and ensure Linux/macOS users are not left to infer their workflow.
- For PowerShell-specific features, clarify their scope and provide alternatives for Bash/zsh users where possible.
