Using this template

Prerequisites

• GitHub account
• Netlify account

Setup

2. Add a site and link the repository on Netlify
3. Deploy

To do the three steps above click this button:

Continue setup

1. Enable Identity integration for your site, to enable Authentication for the CMS

   • Go to Netlify Identity integration in your netlify site:
     Path: Your netlify site's path with /integrations/identity/netlify appended
     e.g.: https://app.netlify.com/sites/vuedn/integrations/identity/netlify if your site's name is vuedn
   • and click Enable

2. Enable Git Gateway in Identity settings

   • Go to Identity settings
     Path: Your netlify site's path with /settings/identity#services appended
   • and click Enable Git Gateway

3. In the live site, go to /admin path of your site and sign up
   Please note:

   • Due to browser extensions, the sign-up modal or Social Auth may not appear. If this happens, set up on an incognito tab.
   • /admin should be entered manually or linked from another site not your VuePress site. Otherwise, it'll show a 404 page (rightfully so) since the admin page is not served by VuePress rather by Netlify Identity and DecapCMS.

4. You're set!

5. Bonus: Update Registration preferences and External providers in Identity settings, Registration section
   Path: Your netlify site's path with /settings/identity#registration appended
