GitBook etiquette

GitBook does not have pull requests. By default, changes are made to the master branch for the book.

Making minor edits

If you intend to make minor edits, feel free to do so on the master branch. Use good judgment.

Making major edits

Create a branch for major edits. You can create a branch by following these steps:

  • Edit the book of interest.
  • Click the "branch" drop-down in the top right of the GitBook web user interface.
  • Select "New branch"
  • Name the branch.

Once you've created a branch you can freely make changes on it. Your branch is now on its own.

Handling conflicts

If GitBook detects a conflict when attempting to merge two branches it will open the conflict resolution page.
