Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation shows mild Windows bias by referencing Windows command shells and tools before or in preference to Linux equivalents. For example, it mentions using Windows cmd.exe instead of Bash, and provides explicit instructions for Windows environment variable setting (using 'set') before or alongside Linux ('export'). In the Java section, the initial directory creation uses 'cmd' syntax, and there is occasional mention of Windows-specific patterns. However, the majority of code and CLI examples are cross-platform, and Linux/Bash instructions are present throughout.
Recommendations:
  • When referencing command shells, present Bash/Linux instructions first, or equally with Windows, rather than as an alternative.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific command syntax (e.g., 'cmd') as the primary example; provide both Bash and Windows equivalents side by side.
  • Where environment variables are set, show both 'export' (Linux/macOS) and 'set' (Windows) examples together, or clarify which is for which OS.
  • Ensure all tool installation and usage instructions are platform-agnostic or provide clear, parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux.
  • Consider adding a table or section summarizing OS-specific differences for setup and commands, to make parity explicit.
