book. Relative paths are interpreted relative to the book's root directory. If
not specified it will default to the value of the `build.build-dir` key in
`book.toml`, or to `./book`.
#### Specify exclude patterns
The `serve` command will not automatically trigger a build for files listed in
the `.gitignore` file in the book root directory. The `.gitignore` file may
contain file patterns described in the [gitignore
documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore). This can be useful for
ignoring temporary files created by some editors.
_Note: Only `.gitignore` from book root directory is used. Global
`$HOME/.gitignore` or `.gitignore` files in parent directories are not used._
