Summary
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity and uses cURL, Bash, and Python, which are available on both Linux and Windows. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the way platform-specific instructions are ordered and in the explicit recommendation of Git Bash for Windows users, while Linux/WSL users are simply told to use Bash. Windows is mentioned first in several places, and the only Windows-specific tool mentioned is Git Bash, with no mention of native Windows command prompts or PowerShell. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, and Linux is not omitted, but the documentation assumes Windows users need extra tooling (Git Bash) to follow along, which may not be necessary for all users.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of platform mentions (sometimes Linux/WSL first, sometimes Windows) to avoid always putting Windows first.
- Explicitly mention that Bash is available natively on Linux and WSL, and that Windows users can use Git Bash, WSL, or other Bash environments (such as Cygwin or Windows Terminal with WSL).
- Consider providing a brief note for Windows users who may prefer PowerShell or Command Prompt, clarifying that the examples use Bash syntax and recommending Bash-compatible environments for all platforms.
- Where possible, avoid assuming Windows users require extra tooling; clarify that Bash is the required shell environment, and list options for obtaining it on Windows.
- Ensure that any references to tools or environments are balanced; if Git Bash is mentioned for Windows, mention native Bash for Linux/WSL with equal prominence.
