Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific instructions and tools (such as Git Bash and winpty) are mentioned first or exclusively in several places. The prerequisites and OpenSSL installation guidance are Windows-centric, with Git Bash recommended as the primary shell and OpenSSL access method on Windows. PowerShell scripts are referenced before Bash scripts. In command examples, Windows tabs and winpty usage are presented before Linux equivalents, and the overall workflow assumes a Windows environment (e.g., Git Bash as the shell, OpenSSL bundled with Git for Windows). Linux instructions are present, but often secondary.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions with equal prominence, alternating which is shown first or using a neutral order.
- Add explicit instructions for installing OpenSSL on Linux distributions (e.g., apt, yum, dnf commands) and clarify that OpenSSL is typically pre-installed or easily available on Linux.
- Reference Bash scripts before or alongside PowerShell scripts, and clarify their applicability to both platforms.
- Avoid assuming Git Bash as the default shell for all users; suggest native Linux terminals and macOS Terminal where appropriate.
- Where winpty is used for Windows, explain its purpose and provide alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
- Include troubleshooting notes for Linux-specific issues (e.g., file permissions, SELinux/AppArmor, environment variables).
- Ensure screenshots and UI instructions are platform-neutral or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS variants.
