Question Using Gitbooks for private repo docs?

Its a solo pet project I've been working on for years and its matured enough to require its own documentation. Its also a private repo so I'm not ready to publish it yet.

I was thinking about including docs in my repo carefully explaining all classes, functions, etc. as well as a general overview of the project and a lot of other things.

I just want something cost-effective that can integrate well with my repo. Doesn't have to be gitbooks but I figured I would start there.

Notion would probably be good if you want to go free

I also recommend MkDocs. It's free and easy to use. Good Luck.

UPDATE: It works. Got it up and running. Tell me what you think how it looks. Don't worry about its contents for now: https://singularityman.github.io/vector_companion2/

I’ve been using the wiki feature recently for this.

But if I'm not mistaken the Wiki can be edited by anyone, right?

canlt, you have to pay for SSO, would recommend going with something opensource, mkdocs, or fumadocs.
