Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for Azure CLI commands, but the PowerShell examples are labeled as 'Formatted for PowerShell' and are always presented immediately after the Bash examples. However, the PowerShell examples use Windows-specific syntax (e.g., backticks for line continuation, $variable assignment), and there is no explicit mention of Linux or macOS environments. The documentation does not clarify which example is for which OS, and the PowerShell examples may be confusing for non-Windows users. There is also a lack of explicit Linux/macOS context or troubleshooting, and the ordering of examples (Bash first, then PowerShell) could be interpreted as a mild 'windows_first' bias, especially since PowerShell is a Windows-native shell.
Recommendations
  • Clearly label Bash examples as 'Linux/macOS (Bash)' and PowerShell examples as 'Windows (PowerShell)' to avoid confusion.
  • Provide a brief note explaining which shell/environment each example is intended for.
  • Consider including troubleshooting notes or environment setup instructions for both Linux/macOS and Windows users.
  • If possible, provide parity in example depth and clarity for both platforms, and avoid assuming PowerShell is the default for Windows users.
  • Ensure that Linux/macOS users are not required to adapt PowerShell-specific syntax.
