Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (Git Bash from Git for Windows), providing troubleshooting steps that rely on Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE), and omitting explicit Linux/macOS examples or alternatives. The only command-line examples are generic git commands, but the only tool mentioned by name is Git for Windows, and the only workaround for password encoding uses Visual Studio's Immediate Window, which is not available on Linux/macOS. No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are suggested for these steps.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention and provide examples for Linux and macOS users, such as using the built-in terminal or common shells (bash, zsh) for git commands.
- Replace or supplement the Visual Studio Immediate Window password encoding step with a cross-platform alternative, such as using Python, Node.js, or command-line tools (e.g., `python3 -c 'import urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.quote("password"))'`).
- List cross-platform Git tools (e.g., native git, GitHub CLI, etc.) and avoid suggesting only Windows-specific downloads.
- Where screenshots or UI steps are shown, clarify that the process is the same across platforms or note any differences.
- Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users to ensure parity and inclusivity.
