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.

"Simple, Elegant, and Powerful"

5/5

What do you like best about GitBook?

I love GitBook's versioning capabilities! The editing process is reminiscent of Jupyter with the content broken up into cells. The way you structure your documentation is very straight forward. You can get up and running very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitBook?

If you're not familiar with VCS or versioning it can be a little challenging for new users to think in those terms. Though, GitBook hides a lot of that complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My time with Gitbook"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GitBook?

Ease of use for sharing documents and information amongst the team. There was very little difficult getting adjusted to the interface and features, and it made sharing a lot easier amongst the team. I think it is also a bit better than some other file sharing/storing services that are out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitBook?

No complaints. I found the product to be easy. I am used to sharing documents via a shared network drive.. So at first the change the Gitbook was a bit offputting. But aside from that, I dont have any main complaints that I would give a "heads up" to someone about or even a critique about the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitBook:

I think you should give it a shot. It is easy to use, and very helpful for getting archiving information for new and previous employees to have access to. Of course it will take some time to get ued to using, but once you are actually familiar with it, it becomes very handy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Problems I solved were mainly for myself, or directing colleagues to being able to find the correct document needed for information. It much easier because the access set up is a lot more convenient than using some other methods for sharing such as a shared drive or etc. Where I feel you have to do a lot of on the fly tampering for permissions at times, because shared drives or online drives don't always recognize a role such as "user", "admin" so there can be issues where someone is restricted from access even though they are within a role to have it. I did not encounter this with Gitbook Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
