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.

## How It Works

Netlify 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 Netlify 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.netlifycms.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.
