gitbook-plugin-github-embed (https://www.npmjs.com/package/gitbook-plugin-github-embed)
works fine locally but I get this error stack when I push to git.gitbook.com:

Here's my markdown

{% github_embed "https://github.com/v5analytics/gitbook-plugin-github-embed/blob/1cd16ac/index.js#L3-L8" %}{% endgithub_embed %}

And my book.json

{
    "plugins": ["github-embed"]
}

I know it's probably a problem with the plugin, but I don't think there should be an inconsistency between local and remote gitbook servers. (or should it?)

No, there shouldn't. There are several situations where there are differences though.

Why is it that way? @AaronO

@krabbypattified @Mackiovello did you find a solution to this issue since then?

I ran into the same problem just now :/

No, I did not. But I've migrated to the new version of GitBook, so it's no longer a problem. The new version is shipping in 1-2 weeks: https://betadocs.gitbook.com/changelog#in-progress

I got this answer from the Gitbook Slack:

That specific issue is most likely caused because the plugin is written in ES6 and not transpiled to ES5
