Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) is an open-source, Git-based headless content management system for static site generators and modern frontend frameworks. It provides a web-based editorial UI for managing content stored directly in Git repositories, supporting collections of entries and media files, rich-text editing, editorial workflows (draft/review/publish), and i18n. Content operations are proxied to Git hosting backends (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure, Gitea) via their respective REST and GraphQL APIs. Decap Turbo adds a managed cloud layer with a database proxy, centralized authentication, user roles, real-time collaboration presence, and priority support.
