Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild 'windows_first' bias in the section on setting environment variables. The PowerShell (Windows) example for setting environment variables is presented before the Bash (Linux/macOS) example, and is specifically called out in the text. However, the rest of the documentation uses Bash syntax and Azure CLI commands, which are cross-platform and suitable for both Linux and Windows (with WSL or Azure CLI installed). There are no exclusive Windows tools or missing Linux examples elsewhere.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux/Bash and Windows/PowerShell environment variable examples side by side, or explicitly note that both platforms are supported.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or primary platform (e.g., 'in Windows PowerShell, you would...'), and instead provide parallel instructions for both environments.
- Consider adding a short section or table at the start that shows how to set environment variables in both Bash and PowerShell, making it clear that either can be used throughout.
- Ensure that any future examples or troubleshooting steps include both Linux and Windows variants if platform-specific commands are required.
