Netlify CMS 1.0 is the production-ready update to an open-source project that enables developers to implement Git-based content management for static sites and single-page apps, featuring a redesigned user interface, rewritten markdown editor, and media library. The project aims to fill the gap in modern web development tool landscapes by providing an intuitive interface for managing content stored as persistent data in a Git repository, allowing editors to create and publish while developers build faster, more scalable, and secure sites. With its open-source nature and community-driven approach, Netlify CMS is designed to interact directly with users' Git repositories via API, enabling a decoupled way to manage content that can be easily integrated with other tools and workflows.
