Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting command-line examples primarily in Windows-centric formats (CMD and PowerShell), referencing Windows environment variables (e.g., 'set TOKEN'), and using Windows-specific tools and syntax. Linux equivalents (such as Bash syntax for variable assignment and command chaining) are not provided, and the examples are explicitly stated to be 'based on a Windows environment.' There is no explicit guidance or examples for Linux/macOS users, despite mentioning curl and jq as prerequisites.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for Linux/macOS environments, including Bash syntax for variable assignment (e.g., 'TOKEN=<access_token>'), command chaining, and line continuation (using '\' instead of '^').
  • Clearly indicate which examples are for Windows and which are for Linux/macOS, or provide a unified cross-platform example.
  • Include instructions for installing curl and jq on both Windows and Linux/macOS.
  • Add PowerShell Core examples for cross-platform compatibility, or clarify when Windows-only PowerShell is required.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific command-line tools and patterns (such as 'set' and '^') without offering Linux alternatives.
  • Explicitly mention any differences in command usage or environment setup between Windows and Linux/macOS.
