Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias in its command-line examples. All variable assignment and scripting examples use Windows batch syntax (set, for /f, %var%), with no equivalent Bash or Linux shell examples provided. This can confuse or exclude Linux/macOS users, despite the Azure CLI being cross-platform. There is also a tendency to present Windows-style commands first or exclusively, and the documentation does not mention or show Linux-native patterns for variable usage or scripting.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Linux shell examples for all scripting and variable assignment sections, using export, $(...), and $VAR syntax.
  • Clearly indicate which code blocks are for Windows (cmd) and which are for Linux/macOS (bash), using tabs or callouts.
  • In introductory sections, avoid language that suggests Windows as the default platform; mention Linux and macOS equally.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform command examples, or explicitly show both Windows and Linux/macOS variants side by side.
  • Link to Azure CLI documentation on using variables in both Bash and Windows shells.
