missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation includes a dedicated PowerShell example for retrieving tokens from the managed identity endpoint, but does not provide equivalent Linux shell (bash/curl) examples. The PowerShell example uses Windows-specific tools (Invoke-RestMethod, PowerShell environment variable syntax), and there is no mention of Linux or cross-platform command-line alternatives. This may make it less accessible for Linux users or those working in non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent bash/curl example for Linux/macOS users.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and HTTP GET examples are cross-platform, and clarify any OS-specific considerations.
- Avoid using only Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell) in code samples; always provide parity with common Linux tools.
- Where environment variables are referenced, show both Windows (e.g., $env:VAR) and Linux (e.g., $VAR) syntax.
- Consider adding a section or tab for 'Bash' or 'Linux shell' alongside 'PowerShell' in code sample tabsets.
