Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell syntax, and there are no equivalent bash or Linux/macOS shell commands provided. The instructions for cloning repositories, running scripts, and configuring secrets are presented exclusively in PowerShell, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, the examples and tooling references (e.g., dotnet user-secrets) are presented with Windows-centric patterns first, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives or explicit Linux/macOS guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide bash/zsh equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for cloning repositories, encoding URLs, and running dotnet commands.
  • Explicitly state that the .NET SDK and dotnet CLI are cross-platform, and provide instructions for installing and running on Linux/macOS.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, including any differences in file paths, environment variables, or permissions.
  • Where PowerShell is used for scripting (e.g., base64 encoding), offer a bash/openssl alternative.
  • Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform or OS-neutral instructions are given before Windows-specific ones.
