Summary
The documentation provides certificate generation instructions and examples exclusively for Windows users using PowerShell, without offering equivalent Linux or cross-platform command examples. The guidance explicitly references Windows and PowerShell, and does not mention or demonstrate how to perform these steps on Linux or macOS, despite using a cross-platform tool (step CLI).
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent certificate generation and management instructions for Linux and macOS, using bash or shell commands.
- Present cross-platform examples first, or in parallel, rather than focusing on Windows/PowerShell.
- Avoid language such as 'in Windows PowerShell, run...' when the tool is cross-platform; instead, offer both Windows and Linux/macOS command syntax.
- Add notes or sections clarifying any OS-specific differences in file paths, command syntax, or prerequisites.
- Where screenshots or UI instructions are given, clarify if there are any differences for Linux/macOS users.
