Question

mdbook v0.4.37

As title described , if run the command like mdbook serve or mdbook build, I hope that the .git directory in the output directory should NOT be deleted, what should I do?

Any help will be appreciated.

The output directory is intended to be ephemeral. You will need to send the output to another directory, and then use some tooling to either copy it into your repository or otherwise initialize it. There are some examples in the wiki, such as https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/wiki/Automated-Deployment%3A-GitHub-Pages-%28Deploy-from-branch%29, for doing deployment via git.

Tks a lot. but it seems so cumbersome and not what I expected, I found one workaround: have git in the parent directory.
