About this project
Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) is a Git-based content management system designed for static site generators. It offers teams a simple, friendly interface to create and edit site content, with all data stored in a Git repository.
The CMS works as a single-page application embedded under the `/admin` path of a website. It requires a YAML configuration file to define the content model, and optionally some layout customization to match the site's design. Once configured, users navigate to `/admin/`, authenticate via their Git provider, and can create or edit content directly.
Installation is available in two modes: a quick setup using a single HTML file and CDN-hosted assets, suitable for simple sites, and a full build-system integration for greater flexibility with npm-based static site generators. Centralized user management, advanced roles, database proxy, and premium support are available through Decap Turbo.
Key features include:
- Editor-friendly interface for managing content
- Git-based version control for all changes
- Flexible YAML content model configuration
- Multiple authentication providers via Git
- CDN or build-time installation options
- Active open-source community and sponsorship model
- Regular releases following Semantic Versioning under the MIT License
Decap CMS supports a wide range of static site generators and is suitable for personal blogs, team websites, documentation sites, and any project using a static generation workflow.
