Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, especially in the main 'Set up SignTool to use Artifact Signing' section. All setup instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume a Windows environment, referencing Windows-only tools (SignTool, MSI installers, WinGet, PowerShell, Visual C++ Redistributable). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or alternative instructions provided for the core signing workflow. Other integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, SDK) are mentioned, but not documented in detail here.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state at the beginning if SignTool integration is Windows-only, and direct Linux/macOS users to alternative integrations (e.g., GitHub Actions, SDK).
  • For each integration, specify platform support and provide parity in setup instructions/examples for Linux/macOS where possible.
  • If Artifact Signing supports Linux/macOS workflows (e.g., via SDK, GitHub Actions), add explicit sections or links with step-by-step instructions for those platforms.
  • For PowerShell or WinGet commands, offer equivalent Bash or shell commands if supported, or clarify that these are Windows-only.
  • Summarize all supported platforms and tools in a table at the top, with links to relevant setup guides for each OS.
