Summary
The documentation is mostly cross-platform, but there are some areas of Windows bias. The 'managedDependency' feature is described as PowerShell-only, and references to Windows-specific tools and environment variables (e.g., %TEMP%, LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA) appear in snapshot configuration. In the explanation of tempFolder and shadowCopyFolder, Windows environment variables are mentioned first, with no explicit Linux/macOS equivalents. The ordering of examples and references sometimes favors Windows conventions (e.g., timespan format, environment variable naming), and there is little explicit mention of Linux/macOS paths or conventions.
Recommendations
  • Clarify when features are Windows-only or PowerShell-only, and provide Linux/macOS alternatives or explicitly state when none exist.
  • When referencing environment variables or file paths, include both Windows and Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., $HOME, /tmp).
  • Add examples or notes for Linux/macOS users where file paths, environment variables, or behaviors differ.
  • Ensure ordering of examples and references does not consistently favor Windows conventions when the feature is cross-platform.
