基础命令

这里主要介绍一下 GitBook 的命令行工具 gitbook-cli 的一些命令, 首先说明两点:

  • gitbook-cli 和 gitbook 是两个软件
  • gitbook-cli 会将下载的 gitbook 的不同版本放到 ~/.gitbook中, 可以通过设置GITBOOK_DIR环境变量来指定另外的文件夹

列出gitbook所有的命令:

gitbook init

该命令主要用户初始化 book,创建必要的 README 和 SUMMARY 文件

下载所需的资源,如插件等:

gitbook install

D:\gitbook\book2-theme-default>gitbook install
info: installing 3 plugins using npm@3.9.2
info:
info: installing plugin "splitter"
info: install plugin "splitter" (*) from NPM with version 0.0.8
D:\gitbook\book2-theme-default
`-- gitbook-plugin-splitter@0.0.8

info: >> plugin "splitter" installed with success
...

如果插件比较多,下载会花很长时间。 可以用 npm install plugin-xxx 这种方式单个下载插件。


生成静态网页:

gitbook build

D:\temp>gitbook build
info: 7 plugins are installed
info: 6 explicitly listed
info: loading plugin "highlight"... OK
info: loading plugin "search"... OK
info: loading plugin "lunr"... OK
info: loading plugin "sharing"... OK
info: loading plugin "fontsettings"... OK
info: loading plugin "theme-default"... OK
info: found 2 pages
info: found 4 asset files
info: >> generation finished with success in 0.4s !

运行完该命令后,会在当前文件夹中生成一个 _book文件夹,其中就是解析出来的静态网站,包含了点子书中的所有信息。 可以将它直接放置在如 nginx 、apache server 、tomcat等服务器中直接运行。

用浏览器直接打开生成的 html 文件是可以的,但是无法完成基本的交互。


生成静态网页并运行服务器:

gitbook serve

D:\temp>gitbook serve
Live reload server started on port: 35729
Press CTRL+C to quit ...

info: 7 plugins are installed
info: loading plugin "livereload"... OK
info: loading plugin "highlight"... OK
info: loading plugin "search"... OK
info: loading plugin "lunr"... OK
info: loading plugin "sharing"... OK
info: loading plugin "fontsettings"... OK
info: loading plugin "theme-default"... OK
info: found 2 pages
info: found 4 asset files
info: >> generation finished with success in 0.5s !

Starting server ...
Serving book on http://localhost:4000

用浏览器直接访问 http://localhost:4000/,就可以看到生成的电子书网站。


生成时指定gitbook的版本, 本地没有会先下载:

gitbook build --gitbook=2.0.1

列出本地所有的gitbook版本:

gitbook ls

D:\temp>gitbook ls
GitBook Versions Installed:

    * 3.2.3

Run "gitbook update" to update to the latest version.
列出远程可用的gitbook版本:

gitbook ls-remote

D:\temp>gitbook -V
CLI version: 2.3.2
GitBook version: 3.2.3

gitbook --version 可以得到同样的结果。

C:\Users\admin>gitbook --version
CLI version: 2.3.2
GitBook version: 3.2.3

安装对应的gitbook版本:

gitbook fetch 标签/版本号

更新到gitbook的最新版本:

gitbook update

卸载对应的gitbook版本:

gitbook uninstall 2.0.1


指定log的级别:

gitbook build --log=debug

输出错误信息:

gitbook build --debug

D:\temp\>gitbook build --debug
