-
Install node and npm
-
Install gitbook-cli: https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook-cli
-
Clone this repo: https://github.com/IWT-Book/Book-Master.git
-
Setup the local book:
cd [book_master_directory]
gitbook install
-
IMPORTANT: In book.json, you need to change
slideRootPathto the following."slideRootPath": "/Slides" -
NOTE: This WILL break the gitbook site version if you push it, so try not to commit that file. If you do by accident, change the book.json on the live server to be
"slideRootPath": "/iwt-master/content/Slides" -
Run book
gitbook serve
- Now you can view the book at localhost:4000 The book will rebuild when you save a file. You can view the command line to see status When you push back up to the book repo, it'll update gitbook as well.
-
To update the layout of the page, modify the files in node_modules/gitbook-plugin-theme-iwt/_layouts/website. This can only be done while running locally.
-
To update the css, modify website.css. This can be done on the gitbook site or locally. To see all the regions/classes that gitbook provides, you can view node_modules/gitbook-plugin-theme-iwt/src/less/website OR you can update the .less files at node_modules/gitbook-plugin-theme-iwt/src/less/website.
Unfortunately, it only seems like the changes take hold if you publish the plugin and update the version. No way to test locally so probably better to use website.css.
