Decap CMS is an open‑source, React‑based content management system that stores site content in a Git repository. It provides a web UI for editors to create, edit, and preview content for static site generators.
Use cases
- add a visual editor to a Hugo site
- manage blog posts in a Gatsby project via Git
- provide non‑technical editors a UI to edit markdown files
- integrate a CMS into a Next.js static site without a backend
When to choose
- you need a Git‑native CMS for static sites
- you want a self‑hosted, free solution with a React UI
- your workflow already uses Git and you want content versioned alongside code
When to avoid
- you require a traditional database‑backed CMS
- you need built‑in e‑commerce or complex user roles beyond Git auth
