Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_tools
powershell_heavy
windows_first
Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, using mostly Bash-style environment variable examples, but there are several signs of Windows bias. Windows tools (such as PowerShell and Export-PfxCertificate) are referenced explicitly, and PowerShell is used for secure variable input without equivalent Linux shell examples. When discussing certificate export, only Windows certificate store and PowerShell guidance are provided. In some sections, Windows-specific patterns are mentioned before or instead of Linux/macOS equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for secure environment variable input (e.g., using 'read -s' in Bash).
  • When referencing certificate export, include instructions or links for exporting certificates on Linux/macOS (e.g., using OpenSSL).
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools (like Export-PfxCertificate) exclusively; always mention cross-platform or platform-specific alternatives.
  • When discussing environment variables, clarify the syntax for both Bash (Linux/macOS) and PowerShell (Windows), and present them side by side.
  • Review the order of platform-specific instructions to ensure Linux/macOS are not always secondary or omitted.
