It’s important to me that CloudCannon is a Git-based CMS. I hate having a vendor lock with API-based CMSs — how can I trust anyone else with our data?

You already trust Git with your code.
Why not your content too?

With CloudCannon as your Git-based CMS, you can keep everything in one place: your Git repo. Build locally with your favorite SSG, then let content teams edit and publish with a visual UI.

Why developers are switching to a Git CMS

You use Git to keep things clean, trackable, and secure. A Git CMS brings that same workflow to your content.

No more blocked deployments. Just a workflow that actually works for everyone.

They don’t want to learn Git.
They don’t have to.

With CloudCannon, everyone can edit content directly on the page, and preview before publishing. With a robust staging–to–production workflow, they can always roll back changes when needed.

It's everything they need, and nothing they can break.

How does a Git CMS improve your content workflow?

A Git CMS brings content into the same workflow you already trust for code.

Branch sites for all content and development updates, with preview URLs for every change and pull requests for review and approvals. Content and code always stay in sync, and editors work in parallel without blocking developers.

Best of all, every change is tracked — no more guessing who published what.

Why choose CloudCannon?

Works directly with your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repo.

Includes built-in branching, previews and approval workflows.

Supports the static site generators and frontend web tooling you already use.

Lets you build locally while editors can use a visual UI with your custom components.

Own your content. Everything lives in your Git repo, so you're never locked into CloudCannon's platform.

Scales with you from small websites to enterprise projects, with features like user permissions, SAML and SOC 2 approved security.

Having that flexibility of having everything live in a Git repository is pretty amazing. We don’t have to worry about a separate database, or any other pieces in the mix, it’s dead simple. My mentality is to keep things lean and as simple as possible; we don’t need anything more. CloudCannon is perfect for what we’re doing.
