GitBook
Hosted documentation platform that syncs with markdown in Git.
GitBook is a hosted documentation platform used for product docs, internal wikis, and knowledge bases. Its editor supports markdown input, and Git Sync keeps the content mirrored to markdown files in a GitHub or GitLab repository.
That two-way sync means developers can edit docs as markdown in pull requests while non-technical teammates use the visual editor — both sides see the same content.
