Repository Setup

This page explains how to connect and prepare your repository for GitCMS.

Connect a Repository

1. Sign in with GitHub.
2. Click "Connect Repository".
3. Choose a repository from the list or create a new one.
4. Select branch and click "Connect".

What GitCMS Adds

When connecting to a repository, GitCMS may add:

• .gitcms/config.json — basic configuration
• .gitcms/schemas/ — initial schema examples
• content/ — content folder
• media/ — media folder

Best Practices

• Use a dedicated branch for content if you prefer workflows.
• Add .gitattributes for LFS if you plan to host large files.
• Keep media under media/ and content under content/.
