Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its setup and authentication instructions. All shell commands (creating directories, files, setting environment variables, installing packages) are shown exclusively using PowerShell syntax, with no Bash or Linux/macOS alternatives. This may confuse or slow down users on Linux or macOS, especially when setting environment variables or creating files. The bias is most evident in the initial project setup and authentication steps, which are critical for getting started.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Linux/macOS commands alongside PowerShell examples for all shell operations (e.g., mkdir, cd, touch, export).
  • Explicitly mention that the examples are for Windows/PowerShell, and offer guidance for non-Windows users.
  • Add notes or tabs to switch between Windows and Linux/macOS instructions where shell commands are required.
  • Show how to set environment variables in Bash (e.g., export VAR=value) and how to create files (e.g., touch demo.py).
