Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias, particularly in the section on setting environment variables. All provided shell examples use PowerShell syntax, and only Windows-specific methods (such as [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable) are mentioned. There are no examples or instructions for setting environment variables in Linux or macOS shells (e.g., Bash, zsh), and Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., export testEnvironmentVariable="Hello World!") alongside PowerShell commands.
  • Mention both Windows and Linux/macOS approaches when describing how to set environment variables at process, user, and machine/session levels.
  • Provide links to relevant Linux/macOS documentation (e.g., Bash environment variable guides) in addition to Windows/.NET references.
  • Ensure that examples and explanations are platform-neutral where possible, or clearly indicate when a command is platform-specific.
  • Consider presenting Linux/macOS examples before or alongside Windows examples to avoid a 'Windows-first' impression.
