Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. The primary integration described in detail is SignTool, which is exclusive to Windows. All setup instructions, prerequisites, and examples are Windows-centric, including use of MSI installers, Windows Package Manager (winget), and PowerShell commands. There are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents provided for SignTool or the installation process. Other integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, SDK) are only briefly mentioned, with no parity in example depth or platform-specific guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS signing tool integration examples (e.g., using OpenSSL, GPG, or cross-platform .NET tools).
  • Include installation instructions for Artifact Signing Client Tools on Linux (using .tar.gz, .deb, .rpm, or manual extraction).
  • Offer shell (bash/zsh) command examples alongside PowerShell for download and setup.
  • Clarify which integrations are cross-platform and provide explicit Linux/macOS setup steps for each.
  • List Linux prerequisites and supported distributions where applicable.
  • Ensure that non-Windows users can follow the documentation without needing to adapt Windows-specific instructions.
