Trying to step through the Development reference doesn't work due to a number of missing dependencies:
Steps To Reproduce
Clone repo on Windows host
Install Git/Make/Go via WinGet (Git.Git, ezwinports.make, golang.go)
Try to run make
Expected behavior
Build/test occurs
Additional context
So far, there's a couple of missing requirements that aren't called out:
bash (kind of obvious, I guess, but Git Bash isn't put in the PATH by default on Windows)
gcc (required for cgo)
Additionally, the go:generate tags in main.go don't specify a shell, so Windows won't know what to do with a .sh by default.
It's totally fine if dev on Windows hosts (at least without WSL) isn't a supported scenario at the moment, but this should be called out in the developer reference.

Thanks for working through the steps. I agree we should update the documentation to include a note about the extra steps that need to taken on a Windows machine. If you're able to make the flow work on Windows and add a note in the docs about it that would be great! We should do the later either ways. Thanks.
