Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform parity, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. In several places, Windows-specific shells (Cmd, PowerShell) are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, and PowerShell is treated as a first-class language option. Some command examples and folder structures reference Windows conventions or tools before Linux ones, and the PowerShell language is given equal prominence to others, which may not reflect its usage share across platforms.
Recommendations:
  • When presenting command-line examples, list Linux/macOS (bash) examples before Windows (Cmd/PowerShell) examples, or present them side-by-side to avoid implying a default platform.
  • Ensure that all shell command examples (e.g., for setting environment variables, activating virtual environments) are present for both Linux/macOS and Windows, and that Linux/macOS is not treated as a secondary platform.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic language (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt') and clarify when instructions differ by OS.
  • For PowerShell-specific sections, clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform, but also provide bash equivalents where appropriate.
  • Review folder structure and file path examples to ensure they are not Windows-centric (e.g., use forward slashes or clarify path differences).
