Description

Product documentation your users will love. GitBook has everything you need to create beautiful docs for your users — so you don’t have to build your own editing tools, CMS, website and more. You can just focus on writing great content. GitBook’s branch-based Git workflow encourages your whole team to collaborate by creating a branch, requesting a review, and merging when ready. It’s a flow your developers already know and love — and they can even edit your docs in their code editor using Git Sync. That’s all backed up by AI that lets your users find what they need fast, publishing settings that put you in control of who can access your docs, and internal documentation for your own team.

"Intuitive, easy, and stylish."

5/5

What do you like best about GitBook?

I like how easy it is to create pages and build hierarchies of information. Users can easily build out robust documentation for whatever they are working.

Tracking changes based on the familiar and robust Git style interface helps to coordinate the efforts of multiple users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitBook?

I had a little difficulty setting up my white-label domain name, but that is my fault. I'm a teacher, not a network administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitBook:

Gitbook is a very useful tool for organizing large amounts of information. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. Even my seven year old son is able to create and edit pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitBook solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am working with high school students in a Maker class. They are using Gitbook to document their efforts and their class projects. The students think the interface is easy to use and stylish, and are willing to get their hands dirty to create their own website. They think it's really cool.

I can click anywhere on the page and directly start editing or add images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Had a little trouble figuring out how to add embedded video with a thumbnail. Resorted to just adding a link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitBook solving and how is that benefiting you?

Documentation for open source project to invite more contributors and lower the barrier of entry to contribute to the project. Main benefits are we multiple people can update the docs and changes are commited so its easy to see what changed. Plus easy user interface attracts more people to contribute to the docs.

"Great tool for developers to write documentation!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitBook?

Above all, the UI is neat! And it is very convenient to write documents by subject. It was also nice to be able to express code blocks neatly, and it was good to be able to adjust the composition by paragraph. Another advantage is that a thumbnail appears when a link is attached. It is nice that the url is made neat. It is also good to have a table of contents on the right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitBook?

In the case of korean, the last character is often cut off when editing and saving. It is difficult to delete blocks of code. It is difficult to insert a cursor to write a sentence on the line after a block of code. I would like to add a specialized module for QA. I wish there were more shortcuts for major commands, and I would like to work with simpler keys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitBook:

If you are a developer or are learning development and would like to organize and share a product or product development process through documentation, don't hesitate. Gitbook is the best tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitBook solving and how is that benefiting you?

When working on a specific project, I organized the process in a tutorial or guide format. It's also nice to look at simply making a document by yourself, but Gitbook seems to have the best strength in guiding others to something. In particular, it seems like a very good idea to be able to attach code by connecting it to the repo. I felt it was the best tool in terms of writing documentation for developers.

"Beautiful docs with an easy-to-use interface"

5/5

What do you like best about GitBook?

The docs look really good, and they are very easy to edit. We previously used a combination of Google Docs and Wiki pages, but I think GitBook combines the ease of use of Google Docs with the functionality of markdown, and adds a beautiful UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitBook?

Sometimes the editor can be a bit finicky when adding markdown. For example, I had some difficulty formatting images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Your Open Source Partner"

5/5

What do you like best about GitBook?

I like their platform, it is super easy to use and setup your professional wiki or documentation for your software. It really helps me and my team working on documents in a version control approach. It solves the collaboration issue when creating documentation. Everyone can create their own changes and let the documentation lead decide what should be the best way to document the software project. Another thing, they love to support open source developers to help like me to rapidly produce advanced looking wiki and documentation. As we know open source developers can't spend more time free time in maintaining open source. That's why I found this service a very helpful to me and my time.
