Quick Start

创建项目

  • 创建项目

建议直接在 Github 上创建一个项目。

详情可参见教程：github 入门教程

  • 添加总入口

项目根路径下，新建文件 SUMMARY.md，作为目录。可以随便输入内容。

登录 gitbook

登录 gitbook，可以使用 github 账号直接授权登录。

创建一本书

  • 整合 github

点击安装之后，会请求 github 授权，你可以选择指定的仓库生成 gitbook。

  • 授权

建议只授权指定的仓库，因为大部分还都是代码，没有实际意义。

  • 2018-01-06-gitbook-create-book.png

新建一本书，根据你刚才授权的仓库。然后耐心等待初始化。

书的编辑

直接编辑，可以新建文章，TOC 是对应的索引，FILES 对应文件。每次变动，代码库文件也会随之更新。

  • 中文支持

对中文的支持不够友好，会变成对应的拼音。

  • 目录结构

在每个一级目录下新建文章，生成的文件也会在对应的文件夹中。

本地安装

npm 环境的准备

https://nodejs.org/en/#download 直接下载对应的 node.pkg 文件安装即可。

验证：

$ npm -v
3.9.5

安装 gitbook

  • 运行
sudo npm install -g gitbook-cli
  • 是否安装成功
gitbook -V

有时候不会出现版本号，但是不报错就是安装成功了。

houbinbindeMacBook-Pro:~ houbinbin$ gitbook -V
CLI version: 2.3.2
GitBook version: 3.2.3

安装 editor

editor 直接下载安装即可。

本地使用

创建文件

任意创建一个文件夹。

/Users/houbinbin/Write/gitbook

创建一个文件 README.md

初始化

$ gitbook init
warn: no summary file in this book 
info: create SUMMARY.md 
info: initialization is finished

备注：如果你手动创建 SUMMARY.md，则 gitbook 不会再次创建。

启动服务

$ gitbook serve

直接访问 http://localhost:4000 即可。

修改端口号

GitBook 默认的监听端口是 40000，和我本地的 jekyll 冲突了。

怎么修改端口号呢？
