Summary
The documentation exclusively provides examples using Windows-centric paths (e.g., C:\Workspaces), and references to PowerShell tasks, without any mention of Linux or cross-platform equivalents. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based Dev Boxes or customization tasks, and all directory and command patterns are Windows-specific.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel Linux examples, including directory paths (e.g., /home/dev/Workspaces) and shell commands (e.g., Bash).
  • Explicitly mention support for Linux-based Dev Boxes if available, and provide YAML examples that use Linux images and tasks.
  • Clarify whether the built-in tasks (like git-clone) are cross-platform, and if so, show usage in both Windows and Linux contexts.
  • Avoid using only Windows-specific tools or patterns (like PowerShell) in examples; include Bash or other common Linux shells where appropriate.
  • State any platform limitations or differences in secret handling between Windows and Linux Dev Boxes.
