Windows First
Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation is largely cross-platform in intent, focusing on Azure CLI and Visual Studio Code, both of which are available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, there are subtle signs of Windows bias: (1) The documentation refers to 'command window' and 'terminal' interchangeably, but does not provide explicit Linux/macOS shell examples or mention Bash, Zsh, or other common Linux shells. (2) There are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific instructions, troubleshooting tips, or environment setup notes, and no screenshots or examples that show Linux terminals. (3) The installation instructions for Azure CLI are linked generically, but no Linux-specific package manager commands (e.g., apt, yum, brew) are shown. (4) The documentation does not mention or demonstrate using Linux-native tools or patterns (such as Bash scripting, environment variables, or file paths in Linux format), nor does it address potential differences in file permissions, case sensitivity, or CLI usage on Linux.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention both Windows and Linux/macOS environments when referring to 'terminal' or 'command window', and provide examples for both (e.g., 'Open a terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on Linux/macOS)').
- Include Linux/macOS-specific installation commands for Azure CLI (e.g., apt-get, yum, brew) alongside the generic installation guide link.
- Add example commands and screenshots from Linux/macOS terminals to demonstrate parity.
- When referencing file paths, show both Windows (C:\path\to\file) and Linux (/home/user/path/to/file) formats where relevant.
- Mention any known platform-specific issues, such as file permissions or case sensitivity, that may affect Linux users.
- If scripting or automation is discussed, provide Bash script examples in addition to any PowerShell or batch examples.
- Ensure that all tool references (such as Visual Studio Code) clarify that they are cross-platform and provide links or instructions for Linux/macOS installation if needed.
