# Netlify CMS A CMS for static site generators. Give users a simple way to edit and add content to any site built with a static site generator. ## Community Chat

## How it works Netlify CMS is a single-page app that you pull into the `/admin` part of your site. It presents a clean UI for editing content stored in a Git repository. You setup a YAML config to describe the content model of your site, and typically tweak the main layout of the CMS a bit to fit your own site. When a user navigates to `/admin/` they'll be prompted to login, and once authenticated they'll be able to create new content or edit existing content. Read more about Netlify CMS [Core Concepts](https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/intro/). # Installation and Configuration The Netlify CMS can be used in two different ways. * A Quick and easy install, that just requires you to create a single HTML file and a configuration file. All the CMS Javascript and CSS are loaded from a CDN. To learn more about this installation method, refer to the [Quick Start Guide](https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/quick-start/) * A complete, more complex install, that gives you more flexibility but requires that you use a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages. # Contributing New contributors are always welcome!
