Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for setting environment variables, but consistently uses PowerShell syntax and tools (e.g., Read-Host, $Env:) for sensitive variable input and certificate export. References to Windows-specific tooling (Export-PfxCertificate) are present, and secure input examples are only shown in PowerShell. In sections without explicit OS tabs, PowerShell is used by default, and Windows certificate store/export guidance is given before Linux equivalents. There is limited coverage of Linux-native secure input or certificate handling.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell equivalents for secure input (e.g., using 'read -s' in bash) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Include Linux-native certificate export and handling instructions (e.g., using openssl) before or alongside Windows/PowerShell guidance.
  • When showing environment variable setting, offer both bash and PowerShell examples in all relevant sections, not just in OS-tabbed blocks.
  • Avoid using PowerShell as the default for secure input and scripting examples; balance with bash/zsh where appropriate.
  • Explicitly mention Linux keyring alternatives or limitations when discussing secret stores, and provide guidance for Linux users.
