Summary
The documentation provides AzCopy command-line examples that are cross-platform, but in every section where shell quoting is discussed, it refers to Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe) first and Linux/Unix shells second. The guidance is phrased as 'use single quotes except for Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe), use double quotes,' which subtly centers Windows as the primary or default environment. No PowerShell-specific or Windows-only tools are used, and Linux/Unix usage is acknowledged, but always as the alternative.
Recommendations
- Rephrase quoting guidance to be neutral or Linux-first, e.g., 'Use single quotes in Bash or other Unix shells. In Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe), use double quotes.'
- Add explicit mention of PowerShell if relevant, or clarify quoting rules for PowerShell, as it differs from both Bash and cmd.exe.
- Consider providing examples with both single and double quotes side by side, labeled for each shell, to make Linux/Unix users feel equally supported.
- Where possible, avoid phrasing that positions Windows as the default or primary environment.
