The combination of Github + markdown for writing a (technical) book is exactly what https://leanpub.com/ is all about, check it out. (Or, instead of writing markdown on Github, you can upload your markdown files to Dropbox which is then synced with Leanpub). Leanpub also enables you to publish a book and ask for money while you're writing it.

I've chosen Leanpub as the publishing platform for my first book. They only ask for 10% + 50c royalties and there iz zero lock-in with them.

um... leanpub.com has been around for several years now.

and they only introduced the github integration this month.

so you can't really say that is "_exactly_ what it's about."

or even that it has yet had much of a shakeout in testing.
