Configuration documentation should provide concrete, platform-specific examples rather than generic placeholders, and use precise terminology to avoid confusion. Generic paths like /path/to/repository leave developers uncertain about actual implementation.

Replace generic placeholders with realistic examples that show the actual structure and format expected:

# Instead of generic:
common --registry="path/to/local/bcr/registry"

# Provide platform-specific examples:
# Windows:
common --registry="file:///C:/Users/johndoe/bazel-central-registry-main"
# Linux:
common --registry="file:////home/johndoe/bazel-central-registry-main"

Additionally, ensure configuration instructions are complete by:

This prevents confusion and reduces back-and-forth questions about implementation details, making configuration setup more straightforward for developers.
