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

Decap CMS can be used in two different ways.

• A quick and easy install that requires a single HTML file and a configuration file. All CMS JavaScript and CSS are loaded from a CDN. Learn more in the Quick Start Guide.
• A complete, more advanced install that gives you more flexibility but requires a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages.
