When Netlify CMS uses the git-gateway backend, it will check for a window.netlifyIdentity object and use that to handle the whole auth flow. This also sets defaults for the git-gateway endpoint, that means it can be used in templates with zero configuration and fit with a one-click deploy to Netlify approach. Netlify Identity itself is based on our open-source GoTrue microservice, and Netlify's Git Gateway project is completely open-source as well. The git-gateway backend will work with Netlify without any setup, but can also be configured to work with any selfhosted GoTrue and Git Gateway instances.
Netlify CMS
A CMS for static site generators. Give non-technical 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 login, 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 just 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
- 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.
