Summary
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform support, but some sections show a Windows-first or PowerShell-heavy bias. For example, in the 'Diagnose the cygrpc reference error' section, the Windows/PowerShell command is shown before the Unix/Linux equivalent. In the 'Troubleshoot: could not load file or assembly' section, PowerShell and Cmd examples are given alongside Bash, but Bash is not always presented first. There are also places where Windows tools or patterns (such as 'py' launcher) are mentioned before their Linux counterparts, and some explanations assume familiarity with Windows conventions. However, Linux and macOS users are generally not blocked from completing tasks, as alternatives are provided.
Recommendations
  • When presenting command-line examples, show Bash/Linux commands first or side-by-side with Windows/PowerShell equivalents.
  • Avoid presenting Windows/PowerShell commands as the default or primary example; use tabs or clear headings for each OS.
  • Where Windows-specific tools (like 'py' launcher) are mentioned, ensure the Linux/macOS equivalent is given equal prominence.
  • Review all troubleshooting steps to ensure Linux/macOS users are not required to infer steps from Windows instructions.
  • Explicitly state when a command or tool is Windows-only, and provide clear alternatives for Linux/macOS.
