Summary
The documentation shows some Windows bias, particularly in the Python quickstart where Windows virtual environment activation commands are presented before Linux equivalents. Powershell is included as a pivot, but there is no equivalent Bash or Linux shell pivot. In the Python section, Windows commands are listed first, and in some places, Linux instructions are only present as secondary tabs. There are no explicit Linux-specific troubleshooting tips or parity for command-line patterns (e.g., no mention of Bash scripts or Linux package managers).
Recommendations
  • For all language pivots, present both Windows and Linux/macOS commands side-by-side or in a neutral order (e.g., use tabbed code blocks with 'Windows' and 'Linux/macOS' labels, and alternate which OS is shown first).
  • Add a Bash or Linux shell pivot alongside Powershell, or provide Bash equivalents for all Powershell commands/examples.
  • Where troubleshooting tips are provided (e.g., permission errors for ./gradlew), include both Windows and Linux/macOS scenarios.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility in the prerequisites and setup steps (e.g., clarify that Docker Desktop is available for both Windows and Linux, and provide links to Linux installation instructions).
  • Wherever possible, avoid presenting Windows-specific commands or paths before Linux/macOS ones, or alternate the order to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Consider including a section or callout for common Linux/macOS issues or environment differences (e.g., file permissions, path separators, activating virtual environments).
