Give teams a simple way to edit and add content to any site built with a static site generator. _Decap CMS is the new name of Netlify CMS [since February 2023](https://www.netlify.com/blog/netlify-cms-to-become-decap-cms/)._ <a href="https://decapcms.org/chat">Join us on Discord</a> for community chat. ## 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. Read more about Decap CMS [Core Concepts](https://www.decapcms.org/docs/intro/). ## 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](https://www.decapcms.org/docs/quick-start/). * A complete, more advanced install that gives you more flexibility but requires a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages. Decap Turbo is a hosted backend for Decap CMS: editors log in with Turbo accounts, large collections load from a cache, and access is managed per site.
