Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, but exhibits minor Windows bias in a few areas. The 'managedDependency' feature is described as PowerShell-only (which is accurate), but the explanation and links are Windows-centric. Some settings (e.g., Application Insights snapshot configuration) reference Windows environment variables (LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA, TEMP) before mentioning Linux equivalents or alternatives. The use of timespan strings refers to .NET conventions, which are familiar to Windows users but may be less so for Linux/macOS users. Console logging settings mention Linux, but only in the context of disabling ANSI colors. Overall, Linux/macOS users can complete all tasks, but may encounter minor friction due to Windows-first terminology and examples.
Recommendations
  • Where environment variables or folder paths are mentioned (e.g., for tempFolder, shadowCopyFolder), explicitly note Linux/macOS equivalents (such as $HOME, /tmp) and clarify cross-platform behavior.
  • For managedDependency, clarify that PowerShell support is available on both Windows and Linux hosts, and link to Linux-specific guidance if available.
  • When referencing .NET conventions (e.g., timespan string format), provide a brief explanation or example for non-Windows users unfamiliar with .NET.
  • Ensure that any references to file paths, environment variables, or tooling include both Windows and Linux/macOS formats where applicable.
