Welcome to the CloudCannon Gatsby starter guide! If you want to get your Gatsby Site editable, built, and live on CloudCannon, you are in the right place.
Before we start, this guide assumes you already have a Gatsby site uploaded to a Git repository. Although you can upload files directly from your hard drive, we highly recommend using a Git repository.
Don’t have a Gatsby site yet? No worries! You can create one with our Jamstack tutorials for your favorite SSGs.
With Gatsby, you can use CloudCannon’s Source Editor out-of-the-box. We’ll teach you how to configure our other editing interfaces: the Visual, Content, and Data Editors.
In this guide we’ll cover how to create an account, create your first site, update Gatsby to use file data, and configure Gatsby for the best CloudCannon experience.
What is CloudCannon?#
CloudCannon is a Git-based Content Management System. With CloudCannon, you can easily build and maintain your Gatsby Site using familiar Git workflows. Plus, your content team can effortlessly update and manage the content without knowing anything about Gatsby, Git, Markdown, or HTML.
If building on CloudCannon isn't the right option for you, please read our guide on setting up CloudCannon in Headless Mode.
