Summary:
The documentation for Azure Functions Core Tools demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The page references Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as func.exe and the use of .pfx certificates), and some features or instructions are described in a way that assumes a Windows environment. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS examples, and certain options (like certificate handling) are described in a way that is more familiar to Windows users. Additionally, PowerShell is mentioned as a supported runtime with special features, but there is little parity discussion for Linux shells or scripting environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples alongside or in place of Windows-centric ones.
- Avoid referencing Windows-specific binaries (e.g., func.exe) in the title or introductory text; use cross-platform terminology (e.g., Azure Functions Core Tools CLI).
- Where features are Windows-specific (such as .pfx certificate handling), clarify cross-platform support and provide equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS (e.g., using OpenSSL-generated certificates).
- When mentioning PowerShell-specific features, also discuss parity or alternatives for Bash or other common Linux shells.
- Ensure that any references to local emulators, encryption, or file paths include Linux/macOS equivalents.
- Add notes or tables indicating OS support for each feature or command where relevant.
