Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell instructions, but there is a noticeable Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as a primary method alongside CLI, and several instructions (such as using a 'local PowerShell terminal') assume a Windows environment. There are no explicit Linux shell or macOS terminal examples for PowerShell steps, and troubleshooting references Windows-specific errors (e.g., native modules lacking Windows binaries). The documentation does not clarify cross-platform differences or provide parity for Linux users in PowerShell sections.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state that Azure CLI and Git commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide example terminal commands for Linux/macOS where PowerShell is used for Windows.
- For PowerShell sections, clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, or provide Bash equivalents for Linux/macOS users.
- In troubleshooting, avoid highlighting Windows-specific errors (such as native module Windows binary issues) without also mentioning common Linux/macOS issues.
- Wherever a 'local PowerShell terminal' is referenced, also mention 'Bash or other shell' for Linux/macOS users.
- Ensure that all code snippets and instructions are tested and presented for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, or clearly indicate any platform-specific steps.
