Overview

Quick Start — 3 Minutes

Create a documentation site from GitHub in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Create your Docsbook account#

  1. Open docsbook.io
  2. Click the "Create my docs site" button
  3. Choose a sign-in method — GitHub, Google, Apple, or email (one-time code)
  4. Complete the sign-in flow for your chosen method

Note: Docsbook uses GitHub to read your repository files. If you sign in with Google, Apple, or email, you will be prompted to authorize GitHub access when you connect a repository in Step 2.

Step 2: Choose a Repository#

After signing in you'll see a list of your public repositories.

  1. Find the repository with documentation
  2. Click on it
  3. Docsbook will create a workspace

Step 3: View Your Site#

Your documentation is already available at:

docsbook.io/{your-name}/{repo}

Example:

  • GitHub: github.com/alice/my-project
  • Docsbook: docsbook.io/alice/my-project

Done! 🎉#

Your documentation site is live. It automatically syncs with GitHub.

What's Next?#

  • Update documentation in GitHub → it appears on the site automatically
  • Set up your custom domain (PRO)
  • Enable translation to other languages (PRO)
  • Hide the "Powered by Docsbook" badge (PRO+)
