Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows-specific command examples (cmd, PowerShell) and environment setup instructions before or instead of Linux equivalents. The curl examples are described as 'based on a Windows environment,' and use Windows command syntax (set, ^ for line continuation), with no explicit Linux/bash alternatives. PowerShell is given a dedicated section, while Linux shell scripting is not. There is also a lack of guidance for Linux users regarding environment variables, line continuation, and jq usage. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively or first, and Linux parity is not achieved.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/bash-specific examples alongside Windows/cmd and PowerShell, including correct syntax for environment variables (export TOKEN=...), line continuation (\), and jq usage.
  • Clearly label which examples are for Windows and which are for Linux, and ensure both platforms are covered in each step.
  • Add a dedicated section for Linux shell scripting, mirroring the PowerShell section, using bash syntax and idioms.
  • Avoid describing curl examples as 'based on a Windows environment' unless Linux alternatives are immediately provided.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (bash, sh, export, etc.) before or alongside Windows tools.
  • Review all command snippets to ensure they are cross-platform, or provide parallel examples for each OS.
