About GitBook
GitBook stores docs as Markdown and syncs bidirectionally with a Git repository, so documentation is reviewed in pull requests like code. You get versioning, branching and a polished editor for non-engineers — which makes it the rare tool where developers and PMs edit the same handbook without either side complaining.
For engineering-heavy orgs, docs-as-code is the only model that survives contact with real developers. GitBook delivers it without forcing everyone into a terminal.
