Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Command examples for Curl use Windows CMD syntax (set, ^ line continuation, Windows paths for jq), and PowerShell is presented as the only alternative scripting environment. There are no Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash), and the instructions for setting environment variables and using jq are Windows-specific. Linux users must adapt the examples themselves, which may cause confusion or friction.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash/Linux/macOS examples for all Curl commands, using export for environment variables and standard jq invocation (e.g., jq .id).
  • Present Linux/macOS examples before or alongside Windows examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Clarify differences in command syntax and file paths between Windows and Linux/macOS environments.
  • Include notes or sections specifically for Linux/macOS users, especially regarding prerequisites and tool installation.
  • Mention alternative scripting environments (e.g., Bash, zsh) in the prerequisites.
