Summary
The documentation shows some Windows bias, particularly in the Python quickstart where Windows virtual environment activation commands are presented before Linux equivalents, and in the presence of a PowerShell-specific pivot. There is also a 'powershell' pivot group, but no equivalent for bash or Linux shells. While most commands are cross-platform (using Docker and bash), and Linux activation commands are present, the ordering and structure tend to prioritize Windows or PowerShell scenarios. There are no Linux- or bash-specific pivots or examples for C# or Java, and the PowerShell pivot is present without a corresponding bash or Linux shell pivot.
Recommendations
- For all language pivots, ensure that both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (bash) command examples are provided and given equal prominence, ideally side-by-side or in tabs.
- Add a bash or Linux/macOS shell pivot wherever there is a PowerShell pivot, especially for setup and command-line instructions.
- In the Python section, present Linux/macOS and Windows virtual environment activation commands in parallel (using tabs or clear side-by-side formatting), rather than listing Windows first.
- For C# and Java, consider including explicit Linux/macOS shell instructions (e.g., for running dotnet or gradlew commands), especially for steps that may differ (such as file paths or permission commands).
- Review the ordering of instructions to avoid always listing Windows commands or tools first; alternate or present both equally.
- If possible, provide screenshots or output examples from both Windows and Linux environments to reinforce parity.
