The open source frontend that renders GitBook's published documentation sites, built in TypeScript and runnable locally with Node.js and Bun. It lets you serve any published GitBook space through a local development server.
Use cases
- self-host a GitBook documentation site
- render published GitBook spaces locally
- customize the look and behavior of GitBook doc sites
- contribute to the GitBook docs rendering frontend
- preview GitBook content before publishing
When to choose
- you publish docs on GitBook and want control over the rendering frontend
- you want to self-host or customize how GitBook sites are served
- you want to contribute to GitBook's open source docs renderer
When to avoid
- you need the full GitBook authoring/editing platform, which is a commercial product
- you want a general-purpose static site generator for arbitrary Markdown sites
- you expect the legacy gitbook CLI (npm gitbook package) - that is a separate deprecated tool
