Summary
The documentation provides command examples for multiple platforms, but Windows-specific patterns and tools are often presented first or with more detail. Windows command shells (Cmd, PowerShell) are given their own tabs, and PowerShell/Cmd examples are included alongside bash, sometimes with more elaborate explanations. In some sections, Windows instructions precede Linux/macOS equivalents, and Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell and Cmd) are highlighted. However, Linux/macOS instructions are present and reasonably complete, especially for Python and TypeScript workflows.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before Windows equivalents, or at least in parallel, to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Ensure bash examples are always shown first or equally with PowerShell/Cmd, especially in multi-tab command sections.
  • Add explicit notes about cross-platform compatibility for all commands, clarifying which work on Linux/macOS and which are Windows-only.
  • Where possible, use platform-neutral commands and avoid Windows-specific shell idioms unless necessary.
  • For Python virtual environment activation, clarify the differences between Linux/macOS and Windows, and ensure both are equally visible.
  • Consider adding troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, missing packages) to match the detail given for Windows.
  • Avoid using Windows tools or patterns (e.g., PowerShell, Cmd) as the default or primary example unless the majority of users are on Windows.
