## What it is
Pages CMS is an open-source, MIT-licensed CMS that lets users edit content and media directly in GitHub repositories through a friendly web UI, with no separate content database. It is designed for static sites built with generators like Jekyll, Hugo, Astro, Next.js, Eleventy, and VuePress, and is available hosted or self-hosted.

## Use cases
- edit markdown content in a github repo without learning git
- cms for my hugo or astro static site
- give non-technical editors a ui to update a jekyll blog
- manage images and media files in a github repository
- self-host a simple git-based cms
- replace wordpress for a static website
- let a team edit front matter and markdown files visually

## When to choose
- your site content lives as markdown and media in a GitHub repository
- you use a static site generator and want a friendly editing UI for non-developers
- you want a CMS with no content database, just Git commits
- you want a free, MIT-licensed, self-hostable or hosted option

## When to avoid
- your content is not stored in GitHub (no GitLab or Bitbucket support)
- you need database-backed dynamic content, granular permissions, or analytics today
- you need a traditional CMS with server-rendered dynamic pages
