Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias in several areas. When instructing users to open a terminal for SSH, it lists Windows/PowerShell before Mac/Linux/Bash. The SSH command examples use Windows path syntax ('.\Downloads\myKey.pem'), which may confuse Linux/Mac users. There are no explicit Linux/Mac command examples for SSH, nor is there guidance on file permissions or path differences for those platforms. The documentation does not mention Linux tools or patterns (e.g., chmod for key files) and generally assumes a Windows-centric workflow.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Mac/Bash SSH command examples, with correct path syntax for each.
  • Mention file permission requirements for Linux/Mac (e.g., 'chmod 600 myKey.pem').
  • List Mac/Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid ordering bias.
  • Explicitly state differences in terminal usage and file paths between platforms.
  • Include troubleshooting tips for common Linux/Mac SSH issues (e.g., permissions, path).
