Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all initial setup, file creation, and editing commands use Windows-specific tools (cmd.exe, Notepad, PowerShell). The test environment is explicitly Windows 10, and Linux/macOS equivalents for directory creation, file editing, and line ending fixes are not provided. Linux commands only appear after the user has already SSHed into the cluster.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux/macOS shell commands (e.g., mkdir, cd, rm -rf, nano/vim) alongside Windows cmd.exe commands.
  • Mention cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code, nano, vim) instead of only Notepad.
  • Offer Linux/macOS solutions for line ending conversion (e.g., dos2unix, sed) instead of only PowerShell.
  • Clarify that the instructions are cross-platform and provide explicit notes or tabs for Windows and Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider using a neutral test environment or at least mention both Windows and Linux/macOS as supported environments.
