Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the 'readEnvironmentVariable' section, where all environment variable manipulation examples use PowerShell syntax and reference .NET APIs, which are native to Windows. There are no equivalent examples for Linux or macOS shells (e.g., Bash), and Windows tooling is mentioned exclusively. No cross-platform guidance is provided for setting environment variables, which may confuse or exclude users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples for setting environment variables in Bash (Linux/macOS), e.g., 'export testEnvironmentVariable="Hello World!"'.
  • Mention platform differences in environment variable persistence (process/user/machine) and how they map to Linux/macOS.
  • Provide links to official documentation for environment variable management on Linux/macOS.
  • Clearly indicate when examples are Windows-specific and provide parity for other platforms.
  • Consider including a table or section comparing environment variable management across PowerShell, Bash, and other common shells.
