# 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 "^0.1" mdbook)
- cargo install-update -a
script:
- cd path/to/mybook && mdbook build && mdbook test
```
## 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:
2018-06-23 01:30:06 +08:00
```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!
