Git Sync and llms.txt

[michaelFormio]

Hey y'all,

My devs have been pretty excited to hear that Gitbook automagically gives us a solid llms.txt, but we're hoping to have a little more control. It doesn't appear that Gitbook lets us directly edit llms.txt at present. If we were to use Git Sync and keep our docs source on Github (something we're already fairly keen to do), would Gitbook give us direct edit access to that file?

If not, has anyone heard if there are plans to do so?

Currently GitBook auto-generates the llms.txt from your space content, but you can't directly edit it through the UI.
Using Git Sync won't change this, the llms.txt is generated server-side by GitBook, not stored as a file in your synced repo.

but there might be som workarounds if you need more control.

Self-host the llms.txt, generate your own from the Git synced markdown source using a tool like llm-txt-gen or a simple build script, then serve it from your custom domain alongside GitBook.

You can lso use the GitBook API, export your space content programmatically and build a custom llms.txt with exactly the structure you want. probabaly won't give you a positive ROI :) but can be done and its fun.

theer are already a few feature requests for this in, but i don't think this wuill get on the roadmap any time soon.

The llmstxt.org spec is simple enough that generating a custom one from your markdown source in Git takes minimal effort. I also have a tool done for this.
