Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation consistently uses Windows-style paths (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory\myTextFile.txt') in all examples and does not provide any Linux/macOS path examples (e.g., '/home/user/myDirectory/myTextFile.txt'). While there are notes about quoting differences between shells, all concrete examples use Windows paths, which may confuse or alienate Linux/macOS users. No PowerShell-specific commands are present, but the documentation implicitly prioritizes Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- For each example, provide both Windows and Linux/macOS path variants (e.g., show both 'C:\myDirectory\myTextFile.txt' and '/home/user/myDirectory/myTextFile.txt').
- Alternate or parallelize examples so that Linux/macOS paths are shown first in some sections, or at least equally.
- Add a section or table summarizing path and quoting conventions for Windows cmd, PowerShell, Linux bash, and macOS zsh.
- Explicitly state that AzCopy is cross-platform and provide links or tips for Linux/macOS installation and usage.
- Ensure that any references to file locations (such as the list-of-versions.txt) include both Windows and Linux-style paths.
