Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows-style paths (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory\myTextFile.txt') in all examples and does not provide any Linux/macOS path examples. While there are notes about quoting differences between shells, all concrete examples use Windows paths, which may confuse or alienate Linux/macOS users. No Linux-specific tools or patterns are mentioned, and the documentation assumes a Windows file system structure throughout.
Recommendations
  • For each example, provide both Windows and Linux/macOS versions, showing both 'C:\myDirectory\myTextFile.txt' and '/home/user/myDirectory/myTextFile.txt' (or similar).
  • In syntax and example sections, alternate or parallelize examples for both platforms, clearly labeling them as 'Windows' and 'Linux/macOS'.
  • Add a short section or note at the top clarifying path differences and providing a quick reference for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
  • Where quoting differences are discussed, provide explicit command examples for both cmd.exe, PowerShell, and bash/zsh.
  • Review all references to local file paths and ensure Linux/macOS users are equally represented.
