Summary
The documentation provides examples for bash, PowerShell, and Cmd, but Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as 'py' launcher, PowerShell, registry edits, and Visual Studio Code) are mentioned frequently and sometimes before their Linux equivalents. Troubleshooting tips and error messages focus on Windows issues (e.g., long path registry edits), while Linux-specific troubleshooting is minimal. The use of 'py' launcher and PowerShell commands may confuse Linux users, and Visual Studio Code is promoted as the primary editor without mentioning Linux alternatives. Some sections (e.g., error handling, editor recommendations) lack Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and macOS examples are presented before or alongside Windows examples, not after.
  • Provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, missing dependencies) in addition to Windows-specific errors.
  • Mention Linux-friendly editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs, GNOME Builder) alongside Visual Studio Code.
  • Clarify command differences: explicitly state when 'py' is Windows-only and recommend 'python' for Linux/macOS.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific instructions for enabling long paths or handling deep directory structures.
  • Balance PowerShell/Cmd examples with bash/zsh/fish shell examples, and avoid assuming PowerShell is available on all platforms.
  • Add a section summarizing cross-platform differences and how to adapt commands for each OS.
