Case Study: Trunk keeps documentation up to date with GitBook

How Trunk keeps documentation up to date by syncing it with their Git repo

Trunk, a dev tools company, needed to overcome significant challenges with its previous documentation platform, ReadMe. The team found the design to be stale and the custom versioning system difficult to manage, which made it hard to keep documentation updated and created confusion. They switched to GitBook to create more detailed, branded, and engaging documentation for their developer audience.

By implementing GitBook, Trunk utilized Git Sync to edit documentation directly from their repository, ensuring everything stayed up-to-date automatically. The solution provided powerful customization for a professional look and enabled the team to integrate their own custom linters to check for errors. The result was a highly efficient documentation process that was both easy for the team to use and beautifully presented, leading them to plan a company-wide consolidation of all internal and external knowledge onto GitBook.
