[decapcms.org](https://www.decapcms.org/)



A CMS for static site generators. Give users a simple way to edit

and add content to any site built with a static site generator.



_Decap CMS is the new name of Netlify CMS [since February 2023](https://www.netlify.com/blog/netlify-cms-to-become-decap-cms/)._

## How It Works



Decap CMS is a single-page app that you pull into the `/admin` part of your site.



It presents a clean UI for editing content stored in a Git repository.



You setup a YAML config to describe the content model of your site, and typically

tweak the main layout of the CMS a bit to fit your own site.



When a user navigates to `/admin/` they'll be prompted to log in, and once authenticated

they'll be able to create new content or edit existing content.

## Installation and Configuration



The Decap CMS can be used in two different ways.



* A Quick and easy install, that requires you to create a single HTML file and a configuration file. All the CMS JavaScript and CSS are loaded from a CDN.

  To learn more about this installation method, refer to the [Quick Start Guide](https://www.decapcms.org/docs/quick-start/)

* A complete, more complex install, that gives you more flexibility but requires that you use a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages.
