# Decap CMS Git-Based Content Management System for Static Sites

Decap CMS is a Git-based content management system for static site generators. It provides an admin UI at /admin, authenticates against Git-backed backends, and lets teams edit structured content in repositories without building a custom editorial interface from scratch.

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- A quick and easy install that requires a single HTML file and a configuration file. All CMS JavaScript and CSS are loaded from a CDN.
- A complete, more advanced install that gives you more flexibility but requires a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages.
