Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in the section on setting environment variables: Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented first and in more detail, while Linux/macOS instructions are listed last. Windows-specific tools (setx, PowerShell syntax) are mentioned explicitly, and the Windows instructions are more verbose (e.g., mentioning restarting the command prompt). There are no Linux-specific tools or troubleshooting tips provided, and the overall flow prioritizes Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
  • Provide equal detail for Linux/macOS, such as mentioning shell session persistence for exported variables.
  • Include troubleshooting tips for Linux/macOS users (e.g., how to check if the variable is set, how to persist it across sessions).
  • Avoid Windows-centric language such as 'restart the command prompt' unless equivalent Linux/macOS guidance is given.
  • Consider grouping OS instructions in a table or tabbed format for parity and clarity.
