# Running `mdbook` in Continuous Integration

While the following examples use Travis CI, their principles should
straightforwardly transfer to other continuous integration providers as well.

## Ensuring Your Book Builds and Tests Pass

Here is a sample Travis CI `.travis.yml` configuration that ensures `mdbook
build` and `mdbook test` run successfully. The key to fast CI turnaround times
is caching `mdbook` installs, so that you aren't compiling `mdbook` on every CI
run.

```yaml
language: rust
sudo: false

cache:
  - cargo

rust:
  - stable

before_script:
  - (test -x $HOME/.cargo/bin/cargo-install-update || cargo install cargo-update)
  - (test -x $HOME/.cargo/bin/mdbook || cargo install --vers "^0.2" mdbook)
  - cargo install-update -a

script:
  - mdbook build path/to/mybook && mdbook test path/to/mybook
```

## Deploying Your Book to GitHub Pages

Following these instructions will result in your book being published to GitHub
pages after a successful CI run on your repository's `master` branch.

First, create a new GitHub "Personal Access Token" with the "public_repo"
permissions (or "repo" for private repositories). Go to your repository's Travis
CI settings page and add an environment variable named `GITHUB_TOKEN` that is
marked secure and *not* shown in the logs.

Then, append this snippet to your `.travis.yml` and update the path to the
`book` directory:

```yaml
deploy:
  provider: pages
  skip-cleanup: true
  github-token: $GITHUB_TOKEN
  local-dir: path/to/mybook/book
  keep-history: false
  on:
    branch: master
```

That's it!

### Deploying to GitHub Pages manually

If your CI doesn't support GitHub pages, or you're deploying somewhere else
with integrations such as Github Pages: 
 *note: you may want to use different tmp dirs*:

```console
$> git worktree add /tmp/book gh-pages
$> mdbook build
$> rm -rf /tmp/book/* # this won't delete the .git directory
$> cp -rp book/* /tmp/book/
$> cd /tmp/book
$> git add -A
$> git commit 'new book message'
$> git push origin gh-pages
$> cd -
```

Or put this into a Makefile rule:

```makefile
.PHONY: deploy
deploy: book
	@echo "====> deploying to github"
	git worktree add /tmp/book gh-pages
	rm -rf /tmp/book/*
	cp -rp book/* /tmp/book/
	cd /tmp/book && \
		git add -A && \
		git commit -m "deployed on $(shell date) by ${USER}" && \
		git push origin gh-pages
```
