Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by consistently mentioning Windows and its tools (specifically Git Bash and winpty) before Linux/WSL equivalents, and by providing Windows-specific instructions and caveats (such as the need for an extra slash in certificate subjects and the use of winpty for openssl). While Linux/WSL instructions are present and parity is generally maintained, Windows is prioritized in ordering and tool recommendations.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order in which Windows and Linux/WSL instructions are presented, or present Linux first in some sections to balance perceived priority.
- When introducing prerequisites and command-line environments, mention Bash on Linux/WSL first, then Git Bash for Windows, to avoid defaulting to Windows-centric language.
- Clarify that winpty and the extra slash in certificate subjects are only needed for Git Bash on Windows, and consider grouping these as footnotes or callouts rather than leading the main instructions.
- Where possible, provide a unified command example and only note platform-specific differences as exceptions, rather than separate primary/secondary tabs.
- Explicitly state that all examples are cross-platform unless otherwise noted, and highlight any differences in a neutral, non-prioritized way.
