Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias: command examples use Windows-specific syntax (cmd 'set', caret line continuation, Windows paths for jq), and PowerShell is presented as the only scripting alternative. There are no Linux/macOS shell examples for setting environment variables, line continuation, or using jq, which may confuse non-Windows users. The instructions and examples assume a Windows environment by default, with only brief notes to 'revise as needed for your environment' but no concrete Linux/macOS guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS shell examples for setting environment variables (e.g., 'export'), line continuation (backslash), and jq usage (e.g., 'jq .id').
  • Include Linux/macOS command blocks alongside Windows/cmd and PowerShell examples.
  • Avoid hardcoding Windows paths (e.g., 'C:\HDI\jq-win64.exe') in generic curl/jq examples; use platform-neutral or platform-specific alternatives.
  • Clarify which commands are platform-specific and offer alternatives for each major OS.
  • Consider presenting Linux/macOS examples first or side-by-side with Windows examples to improve parity.
