# Build Process

This book is managed as a collection of Markdown files, designed to be compatible with tools like GitBook or AsciiDoctor.

## Structure
The book is organized into a `SUMMARY.md` file which acts as the Table of Contents, and individual chapter files.

## Building the Book
To build the book for production, follow these steps:

1. **Clone the repository**:
   ```bash
   git clone <repository-url>
   ```

2. **Validation**:
   Ensure all links in `SUMMARY.md` point to existing files in the `supply_chain/book/` directory.

3. **Deployment**:
   The content is designed to be hosted on a static site generator. If using GitBook, simply push the changes to the repository and the build process will be triggered automatically.

## Contributing
New chapters or updates to existing chapters should be submitted via pull requests, ensuring that any new sections are added to `SUMMARY.md`.
