Prose is a web-based content editor for GitHub that provides a simple authoring interface for CMS-free websites. It lets users create, edit, and delete files in GitHub repositories, saving changes directly to GitHub, and is hosted at prose.io or self-hostable.

Use cases

• edit markdown files in a github repo through a web ui
• manage content for a jekyll site on github pages
• author blog posts without installing a cms
• create and delete files in github repositories visually
• self-host a lightweight github-backed cms
• write documentation for a static site hosted on github

When to choose

• you run a cms-free or jekyll site hosted on github pages
• you want a simple web interface for editing markdown in github repos
• you prefer git-based content workflows over a database-backed cms

When to avoid

• you need a full cms with databases, users, and dynamic content
• your content is not stored on github
• you need actively maintained software with guaranteed support
