Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns before their Linux equivalents. For example, it recommends using Git Bash (a Windows tool) for OpenSSL access and provides Windows-specific instructions (e.g., 'winpty') before Linux ones in code tabs. The prerequisites and notes also focus on Windows installation paths and environment variables, with less emphasis on native Linux environments. However, Linux parity is generally maintained through side-by-side command examples.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux-native instructions and tools before or alongside Windows-specific ones, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
- Clarify that Git Bash is primarily a Windows solution and provide explicit instructions for native Linux/macOS terminals.
- In the prerequisites, mention Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum, dnf) for OpenSSL installation, not just Windows installation methods.
- Avoid assuming the use of Git Bash for all platforms; instead, refer to 'terminal' or 'shell' generically, and specify platform-specific instructions only where necessary.
- Ensure that all environment variable and path instructions are cross-platform, or provide separate guidance for Linux/macOS.
- Where possible, provide PowerShell and Bash script examples side-by-side, or clarify when a script is platform-specific.
