Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias by listing Windows shells (cmd, PowerShell) before Bash when referring to the console, and by recommending Visual Studio Code (a Microsoft tool) for editing without mentioning alternatives. However, all commands and code samples are cross-platform and do not rely on Windows-specific tools or patterns. Linux users are not excluded, but Windows is subtly prioritized in phrasing and tool suggestions.
Recommendations:
  • When mentioning console windows, list Bash (or 'terminal') first, or use neutral phrasing such as 'In a terminal (such as Bash, PowerShell, or cmd)'.
  • When suggesting code editors, mention alternatives to Visual Studio Code, or use generic language like 'Open the project in your preferred code editor'.
  • Explicitly state that all commands are cross-platform and work on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Where environment variables are discussed, note any OS-specific differences (e.g., how to set environment variables in Bash vs. PowerShell/cmd).
  • Consider including a brief section or note confirming that the quickstart is fully supported on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
