Decap CMS

Decap CMS is an open source content editor that works with Git repositories. It gives non-technical writers a web interface for updating the content of static websites.

Decap CMS adds an editing screen on top of a site whose content lives in a Git repository. Editors work in a web interface with structured fields and a live preview, and their changes are saved back to the repository. You define the content collections in a single configuration file. Content keeps its full version history in Git, and an editorial workflow can move posts through draft, review and publish states.

• Web editor with live preview
• Editorial workflow for drafts and review
• Content stored in your Git repository
• Single YAML configuration file
• Custom widgets and editor components

Developers building static sites with tools such as Hugo, Next.js, Gatsby or Jekyll. Editors and agencies who want a simple publishing screen for clients. Teams that want their content to stay in their own repository.

Decap CMS is open source and free, and it is self-hosted alongside your site rather than sold as a subscription. It supports all major Git providers. Because the editor depends on your repository setup, the initial configuration is done by a developer.
