#### Building these docs

Until my patch gets merged, docs need to be built manually using my fork.

    git clone git@github.com:grinich/gitbook.git

    cd nylas-mail

    ./node_modules/.bin/gitbook alias ../gitbook latest

Then to actually build the docs:

    script/grunt docs

    ./node_modules/.bin/gitbook --gitbook=latest build . ./docs
