Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by using Windows-style path separators (backslashes) in 'cd' commands and referencing 'notepad' as a temporary storage tool. While the Azure CLI is cross-platform and the instructions are generally platform-agnostic, these details may confuse or inconvenience Linux/macOS users. There are no explicit PowerShell examples, but the path and tool references assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Use forward slashes (/) in directory paths for 'cd' commands, or provide both Windows (\) and Linux/macOS (/) variants.
  • Replace references to 'notepad' with a generic instruction such as 'save the output in a temporary text file', or mention cross-platform editors (e.g., 'use a text editor of your choice').
  • Explicitly state that all CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide notes or tabs for OS-specific differences if relevant.
  • Consider including a short section or callout for Linux/macOS users to clarify any differences in command usage or environment setup.
