Current Answer, Posted On June 22nd 2022
According to a comment by Paul Watson, the ability to git clone GitBook repositories has either been removed or moved to a different URL.
When I logged into gitbook.com, there is an option to "synchronize with Git" using either GitHub or GitLab. As I don't use GitBook much anymore, I cannot investigate how this feature work, but I assume this is currently the 'recommended' approach - connect GitBook over to either GitHub or GitLab, and then git clone the repository from that site.

Yes. You can clone the git repository where the GitBook resides on.
To clone the repository onto a local PC, type:
git clone https://git.gitbook.com/YOUR-USER-NAME/YOUR-BOOK-NAME.git
You will be prompted for your username for gitbook, and your password or an access token (i.e, an API Key). If you do not have a password, you may look up your unique access token in Settings -> Applications/Tokens.
You may also clone your git repository onto GitHub, but when you do so, GitHub will also ask for GitBook's username and password/access token so that it can read from Gitbook's git repository and just copy everything over. So you still need to have your username and your password/access token handy.
EDIT: When this answer was first written in January 2016, there was no official link to the git repository, making this an undocumented feature. Since then, the Gitbook team has exposed the URL to the git repository via its UI, as can be seen in this picture.

Especially because the import option is limited to 20 (!) pages - how are we supposed to migrate to Gitbook if we have a third-party wiki with 100+ pages? We can split it into multiple 20-page imports, but without a copy of space2space we can't merge the imports.

The Gitbook team shifted focus to creating a beautiful online editor that allows you to instantly deploy pages using the https://<username>.gitbook.io/<gitbook_name> pattern, which is great! I totally recommend this if you just want to deploy pages and make them available to public similar to sharing a public google doc.

Can we duplicate a `Drawing` component in GitBook? - Stack Overflow
I thought I could just copy a Drawing component and paste it into another page to duplicate it, but I was wrong. When I edited the pasted drawing and returned back to my original one, I was shocked to find out that it had been updated too. So I found out painfully that I didn't make a duplicate drawing afterall, instead I made a "reference" to the original one, which definitely was not what I wanted. So is it possible to duplicate a Drawing in GitBook, instead of drawing from scratch each time?
