Overview

Astro + Netlify CMS is an integration of the Astro blog starter kit with the Netlify CMS platform. This combination allows for easy deployment and continuous development with Netlify. Users can simply deploy the project to their own GitHub or GitLab account and set up continuous deployment with Netlify. Once set up, users need to activate Netlify Identity in the Netlify UI and enable “Git Gateway” for e-mail/password authentication.
