Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (Bash) and PowerShell examples side by side, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows/PowerShell tools and patterns are sometimes referenced first or exclusively (e.g., references to Connect-AzAccount, CommandLineToArgvW, and PowerShell-specific error handling). The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell concepts and tools, and some explanations (like argument parsing) reference Windows APIs. However, Linux/Bash examples are present throughout, and the CLI examples use Bash syntax. There are no outright missing Linux examples, but the documentation could better balance the presentation order and tool references.
Recommendations:
- Where possible, avoid referencing Windows-specific APIs (e.g., CommandLineToArgvW) in general explanations, or provide equivalent Linux context.
- Alternate the order of CLI (Bash) and PowerShell examples, or present them in parallel, to avoid always listing PowerShell second.
- When discussing authentication (e.g., Connect-AzAccount), mention cross-platform alternatives or clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux.
- In sections about argument parsing or environment variables, provide both Windows and Linux/Bash perspectives if system-level details are discussed.
- Audit for any subtle language that assumes a Windows-first audience and revise to be OS-neutral where possible.
