Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. Windows command shell usage is mentioned before Bash, and Windows-specific instructions (e.g., using 'set' instead of 'export') are called out in multiple places. The initial environment setup notes Windows cmd.exe as an alternative, but does not equally highlight Linux or macOS shells. Java project setup uses Windows-style 'cmd' blocks for directory creation, and there is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS equivalents for activating Python virtual environments or running commands. No PowerShell-specific examples are present, but Windows command patterns are referenced more frequently and sometimes first.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS and Windows command shell instructions side-by-side, or default to cross-platform syntax where possible.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS alternatives for commands like 'set' (use 'export'), and for activating Python virtual environments (e.g., 'source env/bin/activate' vs 'env\Scripts\activate').
  • Avoid using Windows-specific command blocks (e.g., 'cmd') unless necessary, and provide Bash equivalents.
  • Where environment setup is described, equally highlight Bash/zsh/fish shells and Linux/macOS platforms.
  • Add notes or tabs for PowerShell, Bash, and other shells if command syntax differs.
  • Review all examples to ensure Linux users are not required to infer or adapt Windows instructions.
