Netlify Cms

Netlify CMS is a Git-based headless content management system designed for static sites. It provides a decoupled administration interface that allows users to edit markdown and JSON files stored in a version control repository without interacting directly with the code.

The system functions as a version-controlled editor that leverages Git commits and branches to track changes and manage site deployments. It separates the backend data management from the frontend presentation layer, enabling content creation and modification through a user interface.

The project covers content model definition, where website data structures are mapped to administrative fields using configuration files. It also includes identity management and secure access control to restrict the administrative area to authenticated users.
