Summary
The documentation references PowerShell scripts for certificate management and lists Windows tooling (PowerShell) before Bash alternatives. While some Linux-compatible tools (Node.js, Bash) are mentioned, Windows-centric examples and tools are given prominence, and PowerShell is referenced explicitly for key certificate tasks. This may create friction for Linux/macOS users, especially in testing scenarios.
Recommendations
- Ensure Bash and Linux/macOS equivalents are always listed alongside PowerShell scripts, and give them equal prominence.
- Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS users wherever Windows tools or PowerShell are mentioned.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSL, Node.js) as the primary example, with OS-specific alternatives as secondary options.
- Review referenced GitHub tools/scripts to ensure Linux/macOS compatibility is clear and documented.
- Avoid listing Windows/PowerShell tools first unless they are the only option.
