Paperback

We use Paperback (internal to thoughtbot) for generating eBooks. To build the book, follow the instructions for setting up Paperback and be sure to have Docker running.

Building the book

To build the book (for inspecting compiled output):

$ bin/build

Releasing an update

We're using tags and releases to track milestones in book updates.

The release script builds the project, moves the built files into /release, and bumps the git tag:

$ bin/release

Build a zip to upload to Gumroad and attach it to the GitHub release:

$ bin/build-zip

Updating the sample.pdf

Build and upload to http://thoughtbot.com/testing-rails-sample.pdf by updating the website repo (samples are in public/).
