Use gitbook locally
You can also generate a gitbook and preview it locally.
First install gitbook (via npm).
npm install -g gitbook
Wait... you now need the cli package:
npm install -g gitbook-cli
Infact....
You need to install "gitbook-cli" to have access to the gitbook command anywhere on your system.
If you've installed this package globally, you need to uninstall it.
>> Run "npm uninstall -g gitbook" then "npm install -g gitbook-cli"
Once gitbook-cli is installed, thereafter, from the root of the repo you're working on, you run...
gitbook build .
And it will generate a subfolder called "_book" which contains "index.html" and all the other html of the finished book.
(You may want to add _book to your .gitignore)
You can view that _book\index.html file directly in a browser, or serve the content locally from a mini webserver by running:
gitbook serve .
And then browse to (probably)
http://localhost:4000/
(you can serve on a different "--port" e.g. gitbook serve . --port 4003)
You can output as html, pdf, epub or mobi.
