Summary
The documentation for setting up signing integrations with Artifact Signing is heavily focused on Windows environments. The primary integration described is SignTool, which is a Windows-only tool, and all setup instructions, examples, and installation steps are tailored for Windows users. PowerShell commands are used exclusively for installation and configuration, and Windows-specific package managers (winget, MSI installers) are referenced. There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor is there mention of cross-platform alternatives for signing artifacts.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit notes clarifying platform support for each integration, especially where Windows-only tools are required.
  • Provide Linux/macOS alternatives or guidance for artifact signing, such as using OpenSSL, GPG, or cross-platform .NET tools if supported.
  • Include examples for setting up signing integrations on Linux/macOS, or clarify if these platforms are not supported.
  • For GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, highlight any platform-agnostic usage or provide sample workflows for Linux runners.
  • If Artifact Signing SDK supports cross-platform usage, add setup and usage instructions for Linux/macOS environments.
