Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically Microsoft Dev Box and Visual Studio on Windows. The only example for generating Visual Studio caches uses a Windows-specific tool (devenv.exe) and PowerShell syntax, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively, and Linux/macOS users are not provided with guidance or examples for similar workflows.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations: If Visual Studio cache generation is only supported on Windows, clarify this early in the documentation.
- Provide Linux/macOS alternatives: If possible, offer guidance for users developing on Linux/macOS, such as using Visual Studio Code or other IDEs, and describe any available caching or performance optimization workflows.
- Include cross-platform scripting examples: Where possible, add bash or shell script equivalents alongside PowerShell commands.
- Mention platform support matrix: Add a table or section listing which features are available on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Reference cross-platform tools: If Git optimizations apply to all platforms, clarify that those steps are platform-agnostic.
