About Decap CMS

Decap CMS is an open-source content management system that integrates directly with your Git repository, enabling a Git-based workflow for content management. It's specifically designed for use with static site generators and other Jamstack tools, allowing developers to manage content and code within a single repository. This approach offers benefits like improved performance, enhanced security, lower scaling costs, and a better developer experience compared to traditional server-side CMS solutions. For developers, Decap CMS offers easy installation and configuration, extensive customizability through React, support for various file types (Markdown, JSON, YAML, etc.), and integrations with Git platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. It also supports localization, flexible content types, and powerful relation widgets. For editors, it provides an intuitive and fast web-based user interface with rich-text editing, real-time previews, drag-and-drop media uploads, and an editorial workflow for managing content from draft to publish. It also includes a media library with Cloudinary and Uploadcare plugins, I18n support, and search functionality. Decap CMS is a community-driven project that allows teams to manage content without needing a database or server, leveraging existing Git providers for versioning and history. It can be extended with custom UI widgets, editor plugins, and backend integrations. The maintainers also offer professional services like priority support, onboarding, and custom feature development.
