​GitBook is not using my docs folder

By default, GitBook uses the repository's root as a starting point. A specific directory can be specified to scope the markdown files.

If you have a structure where the root of your docs is not the root of your repository, please create a .gitbook.yaml file in the root of your repository with the following syntax:

root: ./folder/path/here

Take a look at our documentation on content configuration for more details and other customization options.
