Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-based commands and examples (e.g., AzureCLI@2 with scriptType: 'pscore', PowerShell@2 tasks, and explicit PowerShell code blocks) without offering equivalent bash or Linux shell alternatives. Windows tools and patterns (such as AzPowershell, PowerShell tasks, and .NET/NUnit focus) are mentioned and used throughout, often without parallel Linux-native instructions. In several places, PowerShell is the only scripting language shown, and there are no bash or sh examples for Linux users, especially in CI/CD pipeline steps. This may hinder Linux users or those using non-Windows runners.
Recommendations:
- Provide bash/sh equivalents for all PowerShell commands and scripts, especially in CI/CD pipeline examples.
- When showing Azure CLI or login steps, include both PowerShell and bash variants, or use cross-platform CLI commands where possible.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'AzPowershell', 'PowerShell@2') as the default; instead, present both Windows and Linux options side by side.
- Explicitly mention compatibility with Linux runners and provide examples using Ubuntu or other Linux environments.
- For .NET/NUnit examples, clarify that they are cross-platform and, if possible, show how to run them on Linux (e.g., using dotnet CLI on Ubuntu).
- In code blocks and workflow YAML, use shell-agnostic syntax or provide both shell and PowerShell versions.
- Review all sections for implicit Windows-first assumptions and add Linux parity throughout.
