Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. Windows command shell usage is mentioned before Bash, and Windows-specific instructions (such as using 'set' instead of 'export') are called out in multiple places. The initial environment setup mentions Windows cmd.exe as an alternative, and Java project directory creation uses 'cmd' syntax. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but Windows command patterns and terminology are referenced more frequently and earlier than Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Bash instructions before Windows alternatives, or side-by-side, to avoid implying Windows is the default.
  • Include explicit instructions for Linux and macOS users wherever Windows-specific commands or terminology are mentioned.
  • Use cross-platform command syntax (e.g., 'mkdir' and 'cd' are universal, but avoid 'cmd' blocks unless necessary).
  • Add notes for activating Python virtual environments on Windows (e.g., 'env\Scripts\activate') as well as Linux/macOS ('source ./env/bin/activate').
  • Where environment variables are set, show both 'export' (Linux/macOS) and 'set' (Windows) together, or use a table for clarity.
  • Avoid phrases like 'You can use the Windows cmd.exe command shell instead of a Bash shell' unless Bash is actually the default; clarify parity.
