Summary:
The documentation page for Azure Functions Core Tools demonstrates some Windows bias. It refers to the tool as 'func.exe' in the description, which is a Windows-specific executable extension. There is a notable emphasis on PowerShell support and features (e.g., managed dependencies only for PowerShell), and some options or behaviors are described in the context of Windows (such as trusted certificate creation for HTTPS). Additionally, some instructions and terminology (e.g., references to .pfx files and certificate handling) are more familiar to Windows users. There are no explicit Linux shell or cross-platform command examples, and Linux-specific behaviors are only mentioned in passing or as exceptions.
Recommendations:
- Use cross-platform terminology for the tool (e.g., 'func' instead of 'func.exe') throughout the documentation.
- Provide Linux/macOS shell command examples alongside or instead of Windows-centric ones, especially where file paths, certificates, or environment variables are involved.
- When discussing features only available on Windows or PowerShell, clearly indicate platform limitations and suggest Linux/macOS alternatives or workarounds where possible.
- Ensure that any references to file types, tools, or workflows (such as .pfx files, certificate creation, or managed dependencies) include Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance.
- Review the documentation for implicit assumptions about the user's platform and add clarifying notes or parity instructions for Linux/macOS users.
