I have a question about pact-broker interface. Why the pact-broker cli in windows has the command like this:
```pact-broker can-i-merge --pacticipant &lt;pacticipant&gt; --version &lt;version&gt;....```
while in linux it is like this:

```pact-broker can-i-merge --pacticipant=&lt;pacticipant&gt; --version=&lt;version&gt;....```
if one is using the same script to call in linux or windows, it has to take into account what base OS it is running. Why not have one unified interface?

&gt; Why not have one unified interface?
it has a unified interface, which is designed to work cross platform. afaik the only difference is requiring `*.bat` extension for windows commands when using the pact-standalone package. If installed via the gem `pact_broker-client` or via the js or python wrappers, there should be no difference.

both these options are valid

```--pacticipant=&lt;pacticipant&gt;```
```--pacticipant &lt;pacticipant&gt;```

Yeah, I think it’s just the way the underlying library renders the arguments for the `help` command

You also may want to move to v2 of the CLI that’s not Ruby-based: <https://docs.pact.io/implementation_guides/cli>
