Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-specific tools and workflows, especially SignTool and PowerShell, with no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users. All setup, installation, and usage instructions are Windows-centric, and there is no mention of cross-platform alternatives or guidance for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state at the beginning if Artifact Signing with SignTool is Windows-only, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users if possible.
  • If cross-platform signing is supported (e.g., via the SDK, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps), add explicit sections or examples for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Provide installation and usage instructions for Artifact Signing tools on Linux/macOS, or clarify their absence.
  • For GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, include example workflows that run on Ubuntu/macOS runners, not just Windows.
  • If PowerShell is required, mention cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) support or alternatives.
  • If only Windows is supported for certain integrations, make this explicit to set expectations.
