You can use the `test-repo` backend to try out Static CMS without connecting to a Git repo. With this backend, you can write and publish content normally, but any changes will disappear when you reload the page. This backend powers the Static CMS [demo site](https://static-cms-demo.netlify.app/).
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The `test-repo` backend can't access your local file system, nor does it connect to a Git repo, thus you won't see any existing files while using it.
|
|
|
|
To enable this backend, set your backend name to `test-repo` in your Static CMS `config` file.
