Summary:
The documentation is generally cross-platform, as AzCopy is a cross-platform CLI tool and all command examples use single quotes (Unix-style) by default. However, there is a recurring pattern where guidance for Windows users (specifically, the use of double quotes in cmd.exe) is always mentioned immediately after or alongside the main example, which is Unix/Linux/macOS oriented. While not egregiously biased, this does subtly prioritize Windows-specific instructions in every example's tip, rather than providing a balanced or parallel structure for both platforms.
Recommendations:
- Consider providing both Linux/macOS and Windows (cmd.exe/PowerShell) command examples side by side, rather than embedding Windows-specific notes after each example.
- Explicitly mention that AzCopy is cross-platform at the start, and provide a brief table or section summarizing quoting/escaping differences across shells (Bash, PowerShell, cmd.exe) to avoid repetitive inline notes.
- Where possible, include PowerShell-specific guidance if Windows users are likely to use it, not just cmd.exe.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and environment variable instructions (e.g., how to set AZCOPY_CONCURRENCY_VALUE in Bash vs. Windows shells).
