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.

"I used it to document development projects. Very user-friendly interface."

Using Swagger as a reference, it would be interesting to add the opportunity to make HTTPs calls through the documented endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gitbook makes it easy to create and maintain online product documentation. The good UI-editor combined with markdown-syntax offers good productivity and rich usability.

What do you dislike about GitBook?

I am only missing the german translations for the documentation ui. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
