Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Git Bash, winpty) are mentioned and recommended first, and Windows instructions are consistently presented before Linux equivalents. The prerequisites and instructions assume a Windows environment, referencing Git Bash as the primary shell and discussing OpenSSL installation in the context of Windows. PowerShell scripts are referenced before Bash scripts, and the use of winpty for OpenSSL commands is highlighted for Windows users. Linux instructions are present and functional, but are secondary in presentation and context.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, not after.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS shell environments (e.g., bash, zsh, terminal) in prerequisites and instructions.
  • Clarify that OpenSSL is typically pre-installed on most Linux distributions and macOS, and provide installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Avoid recommending Git Bash as the primary shell for all users; suggest native terminals for Linux/macOS.
  • Reference Bash scripts before or alongside PowerShell scripts, and clarify their cross-platform compatibility.
  • Remove or minimize Windows-specific command wrappers (e.g., winpty) in the main instructions, or provide equivalent context for Linux/macOS users.
