Summary
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity by using cURL, Bash, and Python examples, and explicitly mentions both Linux and Windows environments. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: Windows is mentioned first in environment setup instructions, and Windows-specific tooling (Git Bash) is emphasized for Windows users, with no mention of native Windows command prompts or PowerShell. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the guidance for Windows users is to use Git Bash, a third-party tool, rather than native Windows shells. Linux/WSL users are simply told to use Bash, which is native. There are no missing Linux examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the documentation does not mention or provide parity for native Windows shells (e.g., Command Prompt or PowerShell), which could be seen as a gap.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly provide instructions or notes for users who may want to use native Windows shells (Command Prompt or PowerShell), or clarify why Git Bash is preferred.
  • Where possible, include PowerShell or Command Prompt equivalents for Bash/cURL commands, or link to documentation that explains how to run these commands in those environments.
  • Consider mentioning Linux/WSL first in environment setup sections, or alternate the order to avoid the appearance of Windows-first bias.
  • If recommending third-party tools (like Git Bash) for Windows, provide similar recommendations for Linux users if any non-native tools are required, or clarify that Bash is native on Linux.
  • Add a brief section explaining cross-platform considerations, including any limitations or differences when running commands on Windows vs. Linux.
