Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell commands and .NET-specific methods for setting environment variables, without mentioning or providing equivalent Linux/macOS shell commands (such as export or set in Bash). All examples and references for environment variable manipulation are Windows-centric, and there is no guidance for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., export testEnvironmentVariable="Hello World!") for setting environment variables at process, user, and machine levels where applicable.
- Mention that the PowerShell/.NET methods are specific to Windows and provide Bash or other shell alternatives for cross-platform parity.
- Reorder or parallelize the examples so that both Windows and Linux/macOS commands are presented together, rather than Windows first or exclusively.
- Include a brief note or table summarizing environment variable handling differences across platforms, with links to relevant documentation for each.
