Summary
The documentation generally provides cross-platform instructions and examples, including explicit sections for Linux/macOS, Windows (bash), and Windows (Cmd) when relevant (e.g., Python virtual environment activation). However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the ordering of examples, with 'command prompt' and 'PowerShell' often mentioned before Linux terminals, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as 'func.exe', 'cmd', and PowerShell) are sometimes referenced or prioritized. The use of 'command prompt' and 'PowerShell' as default terms, and the inclusion of Windows-specific instructions before Linux equivalents in some places, indicate a mild Windows-first bias. All major steps are covered for Linux, but the ordering and terminology could be more neutral.
Recommendations
  • Standardize on 'terminal' as the primary term, with platform-specific clarifications as needed.
  • When presenting multiple platform instructions, consistently list Linux/macOS first, or group all platforms equally.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific tool names (e.g., 'func.exe') in generic instructions; use 'func' unless the extension is required.
  • Ensure that all code and command examples are present for both Linux and Windows, and that Linux examples are not omitted or placed after Windows ones.
  • Where possible, provide bash/zsh examples before Windows cmd/PowerShell, or present them in parallel tabs.
  • Review for any implicit assumptions of Windows environments (e.g., file paths, environment variable syntax) and provide cross-platform equivalents.
