Summary:
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux installation instructions and download links, but there is a noticeable Windows bias in several areas. Windows/PowerShell examples are often given first or in more detail, and some scripting and usage notes focus on Windows-specific tools or patterns. The main example command for copying data uses a Windows path, and batch file/SAS token escaping is discussed only for Windows. Linux scripting examples are present but less emphasized in some sections.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples or present them side-by-side to avoid always listing Windows first.
- Provide Linux shell (bash) equivalents for all scripting and usage examples, especially where only PowerShell or Windows batch examples are given (e.g., escaping SAS tokens in bash scripts).
- Use platform-neutral paths (e.g., /local/path or <local-path>) in generic AzCopy command examples, or provide both Windows and Linux path examples.
- When discussing adding AzCopy to the system path, include explicit Linux/macOS instructions (e.g., modifying ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile).
- Where batch file or PowerShell-specific advice is given, add corresponding notes for bash or other common Linux scripting environments.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and optimization sections reference both Windows and Linux tools/utilities where relevant.
