Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, but there are minor signs of Windows bias. The 'managedDependency' feature is described as PowerShell-only, with references to Windows-centric tools (e.g., requirements.psd1, PowerShell article). Some configuration defaults and descriptions (such as tempFolder using %TEMP% and shadowCopyFolder referencing Windows environment variables like LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA, TEMP) are Windows-centric, with no explicit Linux/macOS equivalents or notes. In a few places, Windows patterns (e.g., environment variable syntax) are mentioned first, and Linux-specific behaviors (such as DisableColors for console logging) are described as exceptions rather than defaults.
Recommendations
  • For features like managedDependency, clarify Linux/macOS support or provide equivalent mechanisms/examples for non-Windows platforms.
  • When referencing environment variables or folders (e.g., %TEMP%, LOCALAPPDATA), also mention Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., $TMPDIR, /tmp, $HOME/.local/share).
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, provide Bash or shell script alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for features and settings, especially where defaults or behaviors differ.
  • Ensure that examples and instructions are presented in a platform-neutral order, or provide parallel examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS.
