This module helps publish a Gitbook to gh-pages using the command gitpub

What it does

Once installed, the gitpub command is automatically available. Running the command:

• Checks out to the gh-pages branch
• Deletes the previous version in gh-pages
• Extracts the files from the book folder and places them outside
• Commits the new version to gh-pages

Usage

• Install the package: npm install gitbook-publish@latest
• Navigate to the branch that contains all the markdown files for your Gitbook
• Delete the gh-pages branch if it already exists
• Run command: gitpub
