Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation shows some evidence of Windows bias, primarily through the use of the 'del-cli' tool in the npm build script, which is a Windows-centric utility for deleting files and folders. Additionally, the build script lists 'del-cli' before other cross-platform commands, which may suggest a Windows-first approach. However, the majority of the examples (shell commands, file paths, and deployment instructions) use Unix-style conventions, and there are no PowerShell or cmd.exe-specific instructions. Linux is implicitly supported, but the presence of 'del-cli' without mention of alternatives or cross-platform considerations may cause confusion for Linux users.
Recommendations:
  • Replace 'del-cli' with a cross-platform alternative such as 'rimraf' in the npm build script, or provide instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Explicitly state that the build and deployment commands are intended to work on both Windows and Linux, and note any differences or required tools for each platform.
  • If using tools that have different names or behaviors on Windows and Linux, provide equivalent commands or scripts for both operating systems.
  • Consider including a note or section on platform compatibility, especially for steps that may differ between Windows and Linux environments.
