Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by using PowerShell syntax for all command-line examples (e.g., git, npm, npx commands), and by referring to 'terminal or command window' without clarifying cross-platform differences. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples or notes about platform-specific differences, and the use of PowerShell prompt style (```powershell) may confuse Linux/macOS users. Additionally, Visual Studio Code is listed as a prerequisite without mention of alternative editors, which may reinforce a Windows-centric workflow.
Recommendations:
  • Provide all shell command examples using generic shell syntax (e.g., ```sh or ```bash) instead of PowerShell, or show both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (bash/sh) variants side by side.
  • Explicitly mention that the commands work on Linux/macOS and Windows, and note any platform-specific differences (such as environment variable syntax, path separators, etc.).
  • In the prerequisites, clarify that Visual Studio Code is cross-platform, and optionally mention that any code editor can be used.
  • Where 'terminal or command window' is referenced, clarify that this can be PowerShell, Command Prompt, Terminal (macOS), or a Linux shell.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users, especially for steps involving environment variables, authentication, or file paths.
  • Avoid using PowerShell-specific code blocks unless there is a Windows-only step; otherwise, prefer neutral shell syntax.
