Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed PowerShell scripts for key setup steps (such as application registration and Azure DevOps environment creation) without equivalent Bash/Linux shell examples. PowerShell is used as the default scripting language, and instructions often reference Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell ISE) or use Windows-centric patterns first, with only minimal or conditional Unix/Linux handling. Some critical automation steps are only shown in PowerShell, leaving Linux users to adapt or reverse-engineer the process.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for all major automation steps, especially for application registration and Azure DevOps environment setup.
- Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell ISE) as the default; instead, offer cross-platform alternatives or clarify when a step is platform-specific.
- When showing scripts, present both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash) versions side by side or clearly indicate how to perform each step on both platforms.
- Explicitly document any differences or prerequisites for Linux environments, ensuring parity in instructions and automation.
- Test all provided scripts on both Windows and Linux to ensure they work as documented.
