Example [GitBook] website using GitLab Pages.

|
|
|

2016-04-11 10:42:26 +02:00
|
|
|
This project uses an orphan branch (`pages`) to [host the book][], since GitBook
|
2016-04-11 10:39:50 +02:00
|
|
|
[expects a README.md](http://toolchain.gitbook.com/structure.html) file present
|
|
|
|
|
in the root directory, and we already use one in the `master` branch to provide
|
|
|
|
|
information about GitBook on GitLab Pages. That way, you can have your project's
|
|
|
|
|
code in the `master` branch and use `pages` for accommodating only your website
|
|
|
|
|
content.

## GitLab CI
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project's static Pages are built by [GitLab CI][ci], following the steps
|
|
|
|
|
defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](.gitlab-ci.yml):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
|
image: node:4.2.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cache:
|
|
|
|
|
paths:
|
|
|
|
|
- node_modules/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
before_script:
|
|
|
|
|
- npm install gitbook-cli -g
|
|
|
|
|
- gitbook fetch latest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pages:
|
|
|
|
|
stage: deploy
|
|
|
|
|
script:
|
|
|
|
|
- gitbook build
|
|
|
|
|
artifacts:
|
|
|
|
|
paths:
|
|
|
|
|
- public
|
|
|
|
|
only:
|
|
|
|
|
- pages # this job will affect only the 'pages' branch
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## GitLab User or Group Pages
|

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. CSS is missing! That means two things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either that you have wrongly set up the CSS URL in your templates, or
|
|
|
|
|
your static generator has a configuration option that needs to be explicitly
|
|
|
|
|
set in order to serve static assets under a relative URL.
