Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. Windows command shell usage is mentioned before Bash, and Windows-specific instructions (e.g., using 'set' instead of 'export') are provided more prominently than Linux equivalents. The Java section uses Windows-style 'cmd' for directory creation, and there is frequent mention of Windows command shell alternatives. There are no PowerShell-only examples, but Windows tools and patterns are referenced before or alongside Linux ones.
Recommendations
  • Present Bash/Linux instructions before Windows alternatives, or side-by-side, to avoid implying Windows primacy.
  • Use platform-neutral commands (e.g., 'mkdir' and 'cd' are cross-platform, but avoid 'cmd' prompt style unless necessary).
  • Explicitly state Linux/MacOS compatibility for all steps, and provide equivalent commands for both platforms where environment variable setting differs.
  • Add a table or section summarizing command differences between Windows and Linux/MacOS shells.
  • Avoid mentioning Windows command shell unless there is a specific difference; otherwise, use generic shell terminology.
  • Ensure that all code and CLI examples run as-is on Linux/MacOS, and note any platform-specific caveats.
