Basic blocks
"GitCMS turns your repo into a full CMS — no database needed."
💡Works with Astro, Next.js, Hugo, and every SSG framework.

01 / People

Writers, marketers, and clients work visually while GitCMS keeps every change grounded in the content model and files in your TanStack Start repository.

  • Familiar rich-text and block editing
  • Structured fields from your content model
  • Images and media stay with the repository
  • MDX and frontmatter editing with full-stack type safety

02 / Agents

Let the AI tools you already use research, draft, and propose changes. GitCMS turns that work into a visible content task for your TanStack Start site before anything is published.

  • Use ChatGPT, Claude, or another MCP-capable agent
  • Proposed changes stay attached to a content task
  • People refine and approve the work
  • GitCMS publishes only when the team is ready
Explore agents

03 / Review

See what changed, keep feedback with the work, and publish only when it is ready—whether the update came from a person or an AI agent.

  • Ideas, Draft, Review, and Published stay visible
  • Briefs, feedback, contributors, and changes stay together
  • Reviewers decide what is ready to ship
  • Git records the final published history

04 / Access

Invite teammates, clients, and content agents to the sites they work on without sharing developer accounts or exposing every project.

  • Simple roles for writing, reviewing, and publishing
  • Site-by-site access for clients and teams
  • Separate workspaces when projects need separation
  • Agents participate without receiving developer credentials

GitCMS connects to your repository, not a prescribed framework. Keep yours.

Blogs, docs, changelogs, help centers, directories, newsletters — if it runs on markdown, GitCMS manages it.
