Summary
The documentation consistently presents PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) examples before Azure CLI, and the PowerShell examples use Windows file paths (e.g., c:\Templates\azuredeploy.json) without offering Linux/macOS equivalents. There is no explicit mention or example for Linux/macOS users regarding file paths or shell differences, and the CLI section only briefly notes that Bash syntax may differ in other environments without providing concrete Linux/macOS alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present Azure CLI first to avoid implicit Windows prioritization.
  • For file paths, provide both Windows (e.g., c:\Templates\azuredeploy.json) and Linux/macOS (e.g., ~/Templates/azuredeploy.json) examples in relevant commands.
  • Explicitly mention and provide examples for Linux/macOS users, especially where shell syntax or environment variables differ (e.g., use $HOME or ~/ for paths, note differences in date command usage).
  • Clarify in the introductory text that both Windows and Linux/macOS are supported, and link to platform-specific guidance if available.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, or provide Bash/zsh alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
