What is Decap CMS?
Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) is an open source content management system for a Git workflow that can be used with any static site generator to create faster, more flexible web projects. Content is stored in a Git repository alongside code for easier versioning, multi-channel publishing, and the option to handle content updates directly in Git.
At its core, Decap CMS is an open-source React app that acts as a wrapper for the Git workflow, using the GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket API.
It features:
- Static + content management - Speed, security, and scalability of a static site, while still aiming to provide a convenient editing interface for content.
- An integrated part of the Git workflow - Content is stored in a Git repository alongside code for easier versioning, multi-channel publishing, and the option to handle content updates directly in Git.
- An extensible CMS built on React - the CMS is built as a single-page React app. Create custom-styled previews, UI widgets, and editor plugins or add backends to support different Git platform APIs.
The web-based app includes rich-text editing, real-time preview, and drag-and-drop media uploads. Writers and editors can manage content from draft to review to publish across any number of custom content types. With Git Gateway, the user can add CMS access for any team member — even if they don’t have a GitHub account.
