    ## GitLab CI
    
    This project's static Pages are built by [GitLab CI][ci], following the steps
    defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](.gitlab-ci.yml):
    
    ```yaml
    # requiring the environment of NodeJS 8.9.x LTS (carbon)
    image: node:8.9
    
    # add 'node_modules' to cache for speeding up builds
    cache:
      paths:
        - node_modules/ # Node modules and dependencies
    
    before_script:
      - npm install gitbook-cli -g # install gitbook
      - gitbook fetch latest # fetch latest stable version
      - gitbook install # add any requested plugins in book.json
      #- gitbook fetch pre # fetch latest pre-release version
      #- gitbook fetch 2.6.7 # fetch specific version
    
    # the 'pages' job will deploy and build your site to the 'public' path
    pages:
      stage: deploy
      script:
        - gitbook build . public # build to public path
      artifacts:
        paths:
          - public
      only:
        - master # this job will affect only the 'master' branch
    ```

    1. Fork, clone or download this project
    1. [Install][] GitBook `npm install gitbook-cli -g`
    1. Fetch GitBook's latest stable version `gitbook fetch latest`
    1. Preview your project: `gitbook serve`
    1. Add content
    1. Generate the website: `gitbook build` (optional)

    Read more at GitBook's [documentation][].
    
    ## GitLab User or Group Pages
    
    To use this project as your user/group website, you will need one additional
    step: just rename your project to `namespace.gitlab.io`, where `namespace` is
    your `username` or `groupname`. This can be done by navigating to your
    project's **Settings**.
    
    Read more about [user/group Pages][userpages] and [project Pages][projpages].
    
    ## Did you fork this project?
    
    If you forked this project for your own use, please go to your project's
    **Settings** and remove the forking relationship, which won't be necessary
    unless you want to contribute back to the upstream project.
    
    ## Troubleshooting
    
    1. CSS is missing! That means two things:
    
        Either that you have wrongly set up the CSS URL in your templates, or
        your static generator has a configuration option that needs to be explicitly
        set in order to serve static assets under a relative URL.
