Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows-specific tools and workflows, especially SignTool, PowerShell, and Windows SDK. All setup instructions, prerequisites, and examples are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform alternatives for Artifact Signing. The use of MSI installers, WinGet, and PowerShell commands further reinforces the Windows bias. While other integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, SDK) are mentioned, their setup is not detailed, and the primary walkthrough is Windows-only.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS users, including how to use Artifact Signing with cross-platform tools.
  • Document any available CLI or SDK-based signing workflows that work on Linux/macOS, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Provide parity in setup steps for non-Windows environments, such as using .NET Core CLI, zip/tar installers, or alternative signing tools.
  • Clarify in the prerequisites and introduction whether SignTool integration is Windows-only, and highlight cross-platform options where possible.
  • Expand the GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps sections with step-by-step examples for Linux/macOS runners.
