Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation consistently uses Windows-style file paths (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory\myTextFile.txt') in all command examples and does not provide any Linux/macOS path examples (e.g., '/home/user/myDirectory/myTextFile.txt'). While there are tips about quoting differences between shells, all concrete examples are Windows-centric, which may confuse or alienate Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations:
- For each example using a Windows path, provide an equivalent Linux/macOS example using forward slashes (e.g., '/home/user/myDirectory/myTextFile.txt').
- Alternate the order of examples or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS examples side by side to ensure parity.
- Explicitly mention that AzCopy is cross-platform and show at least one example per section for each major OS.
- Clarify wildcard and path separator usage for Linux/macOS shells where it differs from Windows.
- Consider a table or tabbed interface to switch between Windows and Linux/macOS examples for better usability.
