Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows-specific tools and workflows, particularly SignTool, PowerShell, and Windows SDK components. All setup instructions, installation steps, and examples are exclusively for Windows environments, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. The main integration described is SignTool, which is a Windows-only tool, and all installation commands are Windows-centric (MSI, Setup.exe, winget, PowerShell). Other integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, SDK) are briefly referenced but lack detailed cross-platform guidance.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for integrations like GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and the Artifact Signing SDK.
  • Clarify which integrations are cross-platform and provide step-by-step instructions for non-Windows environments.
  • If SignTool is Windows-only, highlight alternative signing tools or workflows for Linux/macOS users, or state clearly that SignTool integration is Windows-specific.
  • Include installation and usage examples for the Artifact Signing SDK on Linux/macOS, and describe how to use it for signing artifacts.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer Bash or shell script equivalents for Linux/macOS users where possible.
