windows_first

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation provides certificate generation instructions and examples exclusively for Windows PowerShell, with no equivalent Linux or macOS command-line examples. The phrase 'Consider installing manually for Windows' suggests a Windows-first approach, and all command snippets are in PowerShell syntax. No Linux or cross-platform shell commands are provided, despite the step CLI being cross-platform.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS shell (bash) commands for certificate generation using step CLI.
- Explicitly mention that the step CLI works on all major platforms and link to installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
- Rephrase instructions to present cross-platform steps first, or at least in parallel, rather than focusing on Windows/PowerShell.
- Where possible, use generic command syntax or provide both PowerShell and bash examples side by side.
