windows_first
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias, particularly through the use of PowerShell commands and Azure PowerShell modules in setup instructions, as well as the use of PowerShell-based tasks in CI/CD pipeline examples. Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as AzPowershell, PowerShell@2, and scriptType: 'pscore') are referenced or used by default, even though the workflows are run on Ubuntu runners. There is little to no mention of Linux-native equivalents or alternative shell commands, and Windows/PowerShell tools are often mentioned first or exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash/sh) commands alongside PowerShell commands for setup and package installation steps.
- When showing CI/CD pipeline tasks, include both PowerShell and bash script examples, or use cross-platform shell commands where possible.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'AzPowershell', 'PowerShell@2') as the default; clarify when these are required and offer alternatives.
- Explicitly state that the examples are cross-platform, and test/validate all steps on both Windows and Linux runners.
- For .NET/NUnit examples, show how to install packages and run commands using bash or Linux-native tools, not just PowerShell.
- When referencing Azure CLI or authentication setup, provide both PowerShell and bash/CLI command options.
