Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. Windows command shell (cmd.exe) is mentioned as an alternative to Bash early in the tutorial, and Windows-specific instructions (such as using 'set' instead of 'export' for environment variables) are provided before or alongside Linux equivalents. Some commands and directory creation steps use Windows syntax (e.g., 'cmd' blocks, single backslashes), and there is an explicit mention of Windows tools and patterns. However, most code and CLI examples are cross-platform, and Linux/Bash instructions are present throughout.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Bash instructions before Windows-specific alternatives, or side-by-side, to avoid implying Windows primacy.
  • Clearly mark platform-specific instructions and provide parity for Linux and macOS users (e.g., mention 'export' before 'set').
  • Avoid using Windows-only command syntax (e.g., 'cmd' blocks, backslashes) unless necessary; prefer POSIX-compliant examples.
  • Add explicit notes or tabs for Linux/macOS where Windows alternatives are mentioned.
  • Ensure all tooling and workflow steps are equally documented for Linux (e.g., virtual environment activation, environment variable setting, directory navigation).
