Summary
The documentation provides only .NET (C#) code samples and instructions, which are most commonly associated with Windows development environments. There are no examples or setup instructions for Linux or cross-platform development environments, and all package management and project setup guidance is tailored to Visual Studio or the dotnet CLI, both of which are Windows-centric or at least Windows-first in their documentation and usage patterns. No Linux-specific tools, shell commands, or environment setup instructions are provided.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent code samples for other supported languages (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript) and show how to authenticate using Azure.Identity in those languages.
- Include instructions for setting up projects and installing dependencies using cross-platform tools (e.g., pip for Python, npm for JavaScript, Maven/Gradle for Java).
- Provide examples of environment variable configuration and credential management for Linux/macOS shells (e.g., bash, zsh), not just Windows/Visual Studio.
- Explicitly mention that the authentication approaches work on Linux and macOS, and provide any necessary platform-specific notes.
- Where referencing command-line tools, include both Windows (dotnet CLI, PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash, sh) equivalents.
