Hi everyone! 👋
For those still using the legacy GitBook CLI and looking for a modern, actively-maintained alternative, check out mdpress — a single-binary tool written in Go.
Why it may interest GitBook CLI users:
- Zero dependencies — single binary, no Node.js or npm required
- Multiple output formats: PDF, HTML (GitBook-style), ePub, multi-page site
- SUMMARY.md compatible — drop-in migration from GitBook projects
- Built-in themes, dark mode, code highlighting, full-text search
- Live preview with
mdpress serve
- Zero-config mode — just point to a folder of
.md files
Quick start:
brew tap yeasy/tap && brew install mdpress
# or: go install github.com/yeasy/mdpress@latest
mdpress quickstart my-book
cd my-book && mdpress serve
Since mdpress natively supports the SUMMARY.md format used by GitBook, migrating an existing project is straightforward — just run mdpress build in your book directory.

Happy to answer any questions!
