Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\export), omitting Linux/macOS path examples, and referencing deployment steps and tools in a way that assumes a Windows environment. Both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI examples use Windows file paths, and there is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or considerations.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows and Linux/macOS path examples in all CLI and PowerShell commands (e.g., c:\export and ~/export).
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and PowerShell are cross-platform, and show how to use them on Linux/macOS.
  • Include notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences in command usage or environment setup.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools or patterns (such as backslashes in paths) in generic documentation.
  • Where file system paths are referenced, use environment-agnostic variables or show both styles side by side.
