Publishing the Gitbook

1. git add .
2. Commit your changes with git commit -m "<YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE>"
3. git push
4. Travis will build your changes and build the gitbook and do a git push --force on the gh-pages branch. This way you don't have to worry about merge conflicts :D
5. Wait a minute and go to the Gitbook to see your change.
6. If you don't see your change, disable your cache See how on chrome here and refresh with your devtool open. OR you can try holding shift and click refresh.
