Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in the certificate generation section, where all example commands use PowerShell syntax and Windows-specific instructions (e.g., opening Command Prompt via Win+R and %USERPROFILE%). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided for generating certificates, viewing thumbprints, or file path conventions. The rest of the CLI instructions are cross-platform, but the initial setup creates friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS shell (bash) equivalents for certificate generation and thumbprint commands using step CLI.
- Include instructions for opening a terminal and navigating to the user profile/home directory on Linux/macOS.
- Use platform-neutral file path examples or clarify differences between Windows and Unix-like systems.
- Explicitly state that the step CLI is cross-platform and link to installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
- Add notes or tabs to switch between Windows and Linux/macOS instructions where commands differ.
