Summary
The documentation for setting up signing integrations with Artifact Signing is heavily focused on Windows. The main integration described in detail is SignTool, which is a Windows-only tool. All installation instructions, examples, and prerequisites are Windows-centric, using PowerShell, MSI installers, WinGet, and referencing Windows SDK components. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or alternative signing tool instructions provided, nor is there guidance for using Artifact Signing from non-Windows environments. Other integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, SDK) are mentioned only briefly and without platform-specific setup details.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance or examples for Linux/macOS users, such as how to use Artifact Signing via the SDK, CLI, or other cross-platform tools.
  • If SignTool is Windows-only, clarify this early and direct Linux/macOS users to supported alternatives (e.g., SDK, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
  • Provide setup instructions for Artifact Signing using the SDK on Linux/macOS, including installation and usage examples.
  • Include a table or section comparing platform support for each integration, so users know which options are available for their OS.
  • Where possible, provide shell (bash) examples alongside PowerShell commands.
