Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions before Linux/macOS equivalents in the environment variable setup sections. It also provides explicit PowerShell commands, which may not be as relevant for Linux/macOS users. However, Linux/macOS instructions are present and correct, and the rest of the documentation is generally cross-platform.
Recommendations:
  • Present environment variable instructions in a neutral or rotating order (e.g., Linux/macOS first in some sections, or group all OSes together).
  • Avoid giving Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions precedence over Linux/macOS unless there is a clear user base justification.
  • Consider using tabbed or collapsible sections for each OS to give them equal prominence.
  • Where possible, provide cross-platform commands (e.g., using cross-env for npm scripts) or mention tools that work on all platforms.
  • Clarify that all examples work equally on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and link to OS-specific setup guides only as needed.

Flagged Code Snippets

If you use PowerShell, run the following command:
--- ## Run the application 1. Set the environment variable. ### [Microsoft Entra ID (recommended)](#tab/entra-id) Set the environment variable named **AZURE_APPCONFIG_ENDPOINT** to the endpoint of your App Configuration store found under the *Overview* of your store in the Azure portal. If you use the Windows command prompt, run the following command and restart the command prompt to allow the change to take effect:
