Our goal at GitBook has always been to help everyone create incredible documentation that your team and users will love. And a big part of that mission is making that knowledge accessible to as many users as possible.
That’s why we’re launching our new GitHub Copilot Extension. Now, you can get answers and knowledge from your documentation and knowledge base, directly in GitHub and VS Code — all by asking a question in natural language.
Setting up GitBook for GitHub Copilot
1. Install the app
First, find the GitBook for GitHub Copilot extension in the GitHub marketplace and install it on the accounts or organizations you want.
2. Set up the GitBook integration
Head to GitBook and install the GitHub Copilot integration on the organization(s) you want.
3. Authenticate GitHub
Log in to your GitHub account and select the organization(s) for which you want the integration to function.
4. Connect your docs
In GitBook’s integration settings, add all the spaces you want in GitBook. The spaces you add will be used to provide knowledge and answers when you ask a question in GitHub or VS Code.
That’s it! Once that’s done, you can head back to GitHub to test it out by asking a question about your docs.
It’s super simple to get started, and you can add or remove spaces at any time if you want to expand the knowledge that you can access through Copilot.
How does it work?
For a while now, GitBook AI has been able to help you and your users extract knowledge from your docs by simply asking a question. And now we’re bringing that same functionality into GitHub and VS Code.
Our Copilot Extension uses the same GitBook AI tools to scan all the spaces you add, then summarize an answer in seconds. So you can ask for something general, like code suggestions, or something more specific, such as information about how to use your API in Node.js.
Here are a few examples of what you could ask:
@gitbook-copilotwhat is the best way to deploy my application?@gitbook-copilothow do I import components from our design system?@gitbook-copilotwhat is the best way to handle an error with a missing variable?@gitbook-copilotwhy is my build failing?
You get the idea — as long as it’s covered in your docs, Copilot can help. Head to our docs to read more.
Our next step in making knowledge accessible
We hope you find this new integration useful — we think it’ll be a game changer for speeding up developer workflows and helping you and your team get the information you need faster.
If you have any feedback, ideas or questions about this new Copilot Extension, please join our GitHub community — we’d love to hear your thoughts.
For now, happy documenting!
