Static CMS uses the Forking Workflow + Feature Branches. Additionally, PR's should be rebased on main when opened, and again before merging.
- Fork the repo.
- Create a branch from
main
. If you're addressing a specific issue, prefix your branch name with the issue number. - If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
- If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
- Use
yarn format
to format and lint your code. - PR's must be rebased before merge (feel free to ask for help).
- PR must be reviewed prior to merging.
yarn dev
spawns a development server and uses dev-test/config.yml
and dev-test/index.html
to serve the CMS.
In order to debug a specific issue follow the next steps:
- Replace
dev-test/config.yml
with the relevantconfig.yml
. If you want to test the backend, make sure that thebackend
property of the config indicates which backend you use (Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket etc) and path to the repo.
backend:
name: github
repo: owner-name/repo-name
- Run
yarn dev
- Open
http://localhost:8080/
in the browser and you should have access to the CMS
When debugging the CMS with Git Gateway you must:
-
Have a Netlify site with Git Gateway and Netlify Identity enabled. An easy way to create such a site is to use a template, for example the Gatsby template
-
Tell the CMS the URL of your Netlify site using a local storage item. To do so:
- Open
http://localhost:8080/
in the browser - Open the Developer Console. Write the below command and press enter:
localStorage.setItem('netlifySiteURL', 'https://yourwebsiteurl.netlify.app/')
- To be sure, you can run this command as well:
localStorage.getItem('netlifySiteURL')
- Refresh the page
- You should be able to log in via your Netlify Identity email/password
- Open
