Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. The example for installing kubectl uses 'winget', a Windows-only tool, with no Linux/macOS alternative. In the section on extracting ZIP files, the Bash tab uses 'Expand-Archive', which is a PowerShell/Windows command, not a standard Bash/Linux tool. Throughout, Windows-centric tools and patterns are presented first or exclusively, and Linux/macOS equivalents are missing or unclear. The PowerShell and Bash tabs often use Windows paths (e.g., 'C:\path\to\archive.zip') and commands that are not portable to Linux/macOS.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS-specific instructions for installing kubectl (e.g., using 'curl', 'apt', 'brew', or direct download).
  • For extracting ZIP files, use standard Bash/Linux commands like 'unzip' or 'tar', and provide examples with Linux-style paths.
  • Ensure Bash examples use cross-platform commands and paths, and clarify when a command is Windows-only.
  • Add explicit notes or tabs for macOS where relevant, especially for installation steps.
  • Review all Bash sections to ensure they are valid for Linux/macOS users, not just Windows users running Bash or PowerShell.
