Summary
The documentation provides CLI examples primarily in PowerShell syntax, especially in the May 2025 release section. Bash examples are shown elsewhere, but PowerShell is used for configuration commands without equivalent Bash/Linux syntax. The Azure CLI is cross-platform, but the use of PowerShell-specific syntax (backticks, variables like $rg) may confuse Linux/macOS users. There is a minor tendency to show Windows-style CLI examples first or exclusively in some sections.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux equivalents for all PowerShell CLI examples, especially for configuration commands.
  • Use generic CLI syntax (without OS-specific shell features) when possible, or show both PowerShell and Bash versions side-by-side.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on all platforms and highlight any OS-specific differences.
  • Avoid using PowerShell-specific syntax (backticks, $variables) in generic documentation unless the section is Windows-specific.
