Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns. PowerShell is given a dedicated section, and instructions for the Azure CLI repeatedly suggest using Windows PowerShell as the example terminal, with file paths in Windows format (e.g., C:\demo-file.txt). There are no explicit Linux or macOS examples, nor are cross-platform considerations (such as file path differences or alternative shells) addressed. The documentation does not mention or show Linux command-line environments, and the use of Windows-centric terminology and tools is prevalent throughout.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples alongside Windows ones, especially for CLI commands (e.g., show file paths like /home/user/demo-file.txt).
- When referencing a command console, mention cross-platform options such as Bash, Terminal, or zsh, not just Windows PowerShell.
- Balance PowerShell examples with Bash or generic shell script examples where possible.
- Clarify that Azure CLI and AzCopy are cross-platform, and show usage in both Windows and Linux/macOS environments.
- Avoid using only Windows-style file paths in examples; provide both Windows and Unix-style paths.
- Add notes or callouts about any differences in behavior or prerequisites on Linux/macOS.
