Summary
The documentation exhibits a subtle Windows bias by referencing the PowerShell New-GUID cmdlet as the primary example for generating GUIDs, without mentioning Linux or cross-platform alternatives. No Linux or cross-platform command-line tools (such as uuidgen) are suggested, and the only explicit tool reference is Windows-specific. There are no examples or instructions tailored for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • When suggesting how to generate a GUID, include cross-platform and Linux-native tools (e.g., 'uuidgen' for Linux/macOS, or online generators) alongside PowerShell.
  • Rephrase the sentence to mention non-Windows options first or equally (e.g., 'Generate it using uuidgen (Linux/macOS), PowerShell New-GUID (Windows), or any online generator').
  • Audit the documentation for other tool or command references to ensure Linux parity and provide equivalent instructions/examples for both platforms.
  • Consider adding a short section or note on cross-platform compatibility for any command-line or scripting steps.
