Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All environment variable examples use Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., Bash). Visual Studio is the only IDE referenced, and all instructions assume a Windows environment. There are no CLI or cross-platform editor options, and screenshots are of Windows Command Prompt. Linux and macOS users are not addressed, and their workflows are omitted.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash/zsh examples for setting environment variables (e.g., export Endpoint=...) alongside Windows commands.
  • Mention and provide instructions for using cross-platform editors like Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider.
  • Include screenshots and instructions for running the app from a terminal on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify that the .NET SDK and Azure App Configuration libraries are cross-platform, and provide parity in instructions.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Linux/macOS and Windows workflows are presented equally, rather than Windows-first.
  • Explicitly state any Windows-only requirements, or confirm that all steps are cross-platform where possible.
