Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the order and prominence of tool mentions. In setup instructions, Windows tools (cmd, PowerShell) are listed before Bash, and Visual Studio Code is used as the default editor without mentioning Linux alternatives. In environment variable setup, Windows instructions (setx) are presented before Linux (export). PowerShell is given its own authentication section, while Bash is not. However, Linux instructions are present and correct, and Bash is mentioned as a console option.
Recommendations
  • List Bash (Linux/macOS) before or alongside Windows tools (cmd, PowerShell) when describing console options.
  • When providing instructions for setting environment variables, present Linux/macOS (export) first or in parallel with Windows (setx), or use tabs to separate OS-specific instructions.
  • Include explicit Bash authentication instructions (e.g., using Azure CLI in Bash) alongside PowerShell, not just as a note.
  • Mention alternative editors (such as nano, vim, or code on Linux) when instructing users to open the project, or clarify that Visual Studio Code is cross-platform.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'open a terminal') instead of Windows-specific terms ('console window', 'cmd').
