Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using PowerShell for all command-line examples (project creation, package installation, and environment variable setup). There are no equivalent Bash or Linux/macOS shell examples provided, and the instructions for setting environment variables use Windows-specific syntax. This may hinder Linux or macOS developers from following the guide seamlessly.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Bash shell examples alongside PowerShell for all command-line instructions, including project creation, package installation, and environment variable setup.
  • When demonstrating environment variable usage, show both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (Bash) syntax (e.g., export VAR=value).
  • Explicitly mention that the .NET SDK and Azure CLI are cross-platform, and clarify that the examples apply to all platforms with appropriate shell syntax.
  • Consider alternating the order of examples or presenting both Windows and Linux/macOS commands together to avoid the perception of Windows-first bias.
