Summary
The documentation instructs users to 'open a command prompt window' and provides AzCopy CLI commands without specifying or illustrating that these commands work identically on Linux/macOS terminals. There are no explicit Linux (bash) or macOS terminal references, nor are there alternative instructions or screenshots for non-Windows environments. The phrase 'command prompt window' is a Windows-centric term, and the lack of cross-platform clarification may lead Linux/macOS users to feel excluded or uncertain.
Recommendations
  • Replace 'command prompt window' with 'terminal window' or specify 'open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux/macOS) window'.
  • Explicitly state that AzCopy is cross-platform and works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Add a note or section confirming that the provided AzCopy commands are valid in bash/zsh shells on Linux/macOS, and that no syntax changes are required.
  • If there are any platform-specific differences (e.g., path formats), highlight them with examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS.
  • Consider including screenshots or terminal prompts (e.g., C:\> for Windows, $ for bash) to visually reinforce cross-platform support.
