Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias in its command examples and environment variable usage. The initial example for setting environment variables uses the Windows 'set' command, with no mention of the Linux/Unix 'export' equivalent. Throughout the page, commands are presented in a generic shell format, but the only explicit environment variable setting is Windows-style. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the lack of Linux-specific instructions (such as 'export' for environment variables) may confuse Linux users. No Windows-only tools or patterns are mentioned, but the order of presenting environment variable setup favors Windows.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows ('set VAR=value') and Linux/macOS ('export VAR=value') examples when setting environment variables.
  • Explicitly state which shell is assumed for each command block, or provide separate tabs/sections for Windows CMD, PowerShell, and Bash.
  • Ensure parity by including Linux/macOS-specific instructions where relevant, especially for authentication and environment setup.
  • Review all command examples to confirm they work as written on both Windows and Linux platforms, or annotate differences.
