Collaborate on docs like you collaborate on code

Git Sync lets your teams update your docs in our visual editor or in code — with everything staying perfectly in sync.

Your new docs-as-code workflow

Set up a two-way sync between GitBook and a GitHub or GitLab repo to create a docs-as-code workflow that works for everyone. Developers edit Markdown in their IDE, while writers work in GitBook’s visual editor.

Edit anywhere. Update everywhere.

Edit the content of your docs using Markdown in either GitBook or your Git repo and it’ll update the other location. So your docs are always up to date with your latest product releases.

No more context-switching

Don’t make your developers switch tools to document their work. With Git Sync, they can contribute to your docs right in their code editor, while technical writers use our powerful block-based WYSIWYG editor.

Use the Git workflow your team already knows

Work with branches, reviews, and merges just like you do in your codebase. Create a branch in GitBook or your repository, request a review, and merge the changes when they’re ready. Simple.

How Git Sync works

Connect GitBook to GitHub or GitLab, then edit, review, and publish from either side while your content stays in sync.

Connect GitBook to a GitHub or GitLab repository

Edit Markdown in your repo or in GitBook’s visual editor

Use branches, reviews, and merge rules to control what’s published

Changes stay in sync across GitBook and your repository

Effortless setup

Smarter collaboration

Bridge the gap between your technical and support teams by making collaboration easier. Now your docs are always up to date and accurate — all you had to do was sync.

Write and export in Markdown

Edit documentation in Markdown in GitBook or directly in your repository. Git Sync keeps both versions aligned, and GitBook makes sure the results always look incredible.

No limits. Sync away.

There’s no limit on how many sites and repos you can sync. So if you have multiple products to document, or want different docs for different customers, you can.

Integrate with your
Git workflows

Custom redirects and commit messages

Set up redirects for pages, or integrate Git Sync into your existing Git flows using Autolink and custom commit messages.

Advanced permissions

Want to choose who can push updates live? Simply set merge permissions in GitHub or GitLab to stay in control of your documentation workflow.

Never start from scratch

Import your current docs straight into GitBook and get a head start on your new docs site. Once the sync starts, everything is set up for you, instantly.

“We needed a tool that would satisfy both our technical teams that feed documentation like API references, and our customer care team who produces user guides. That was an important factor in choosing GitBook.”
