Summary
The documentation generally provides cross-platform instructions, but there are several areas where Windows and Windows-specific tools or patterns are prioritized or presented first. PowerShell is given its own programming language pivot, and in several command sections, Windows command-line (Cmd) and PowerShell examples are provided before or alongside bash/Linux equivalents. Some sections, such as virtual environment activation for Python, include multiple Windows-specific tabs (bash, Cmd), and PowerShell is treated as a first-class language option. There is also a tendency to refer to 'terminal or command prompt' generically, which can be ambiguous for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • When presenting command examples, alternate the order of Windows and Linux/macOS instructions, or present Linux/macOS first where appropriate.
  • Ensure that all command-line instructions are clearly labeled for each platform, and avoid ambiguous terms like 'command prompt' or 'terminal' without specifying the OS.
  • For PowerShell, clarify cross-platform support and, where possible, provide bash/zsh equivalents for scripting tasks.
  • In sections where Windows-specific tools or patterns are mentioned (such as PowerShell or Cmd), ensure that Linux/macOS alternatives are equally visible and easy to follow.
  • Consider adding explicit Linux/macOS troubleshooting notes or common issues, especially for steps that may differ (e.g., file paths, environment variable syntax).
