Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the PowerShell New-GUID cmdlet as an example for generating GUIDs, without mentioning Linux or cross-platform alternatives. No Linux or macOS command-line tools are suggested for this task, and the only explicit tooling example is Windows-specific. This may hinder Linux or cross-platform users from following the guidance seamlessly.
Recommendations
  • When suggesting how to generate a GUID, include cross-platform and Linux-native options, such as 'uuidgen' (available on most Linux/macOS systems) or Python's uuid module.
  • Rephrase the sentence to mention multiple platforms, e.g., 'Generate it by using any development tool, an online generator, the PowerShell New-GUID cmdlet (Windows), or the uuidgen command (Linux/macOS)'.
  • Wherever command-line examples are given, provide both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (bash/sh) equivalents.
  • Audit the documentation for other places where Windows tools or patterns are referenced first or exclusively, and ensure Linux parity in examples and tool recommendations.
