Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation provides both Bash (Linux) and PowerShell (Windows) examples for all major steps, but consistently lists PowerShell/Windows examples after Bash/Linux ones. However, there is a slight bias in the 'Prerequisites' section, where 'Invoke-WebRequest' (PowerShell) is mentioned before 'Curl' (Bash), and the general pattern of referencing Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell) is present. The documentation does not omit Linux examples, but does sometimes give more detailed context or explanation for PowerShell commands.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure that Linux/Bash tools (curl, jq) are mentioned before or alongside Windows/PowerShell tools in all sections, including prerequisites.
  • Provide equal depth of explanation and context for both Bash and PowerShell examples.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools (like curl) as the primary example, with OS-specific alternatives clearly secondary.
  • Explicitly state that all examples are available for both Linux and Windows, and avoid implying a default preference for Windows tools.
  • Consider adding a table at the start summarizing equivalent commands for both platforms to reinforce parity.
