Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Java section where PowerShell and Cmd examples are given equal prominence to Bash, and Windows-specific patterns (e.g., referencing Cmd, PowerShell, and Windows-style paths) are present. The general instructions refer to 'command prompt' alongside 'terminal', and some file path examples use backslashes. However, Linux tools like jq and Bash are mentioned, and most CLI examples are cross-platform. There are no outright missing Linux examples, but Windows tools and patterns are sometimes mentioned first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Bash/Linux examples are always presented first or at least equally alongside Windows (PowerShell/Cmd) examples.
  • Avoid using Windows-style paths (backslashes) in generic instructions; use forward slashes or note both styles.
  • Where possible, use 'terminal' as the default term, and only mention 'command prompt' or 'PowerShell' when specifically relevant.
  • In tables or multi-tabbed code blocks, default to Bash or provide clear parity between Bash and Windows shells.
  • Review all file references and code snippets to ensure they are cross-platform, and explicitly call out any OS-specific differences.
  • Where Windows tools or patterns are mentioned, ensure Linux equivalents are also referenced and given equal prominence.
