Preferences
Preferences in the sidebar menu. These settings are yours alone โ they follow your account across every organization and project, and donโt affect teammates.
Language
Sitepinsโ interface is available in 15 languages, including full Right-to-Left (RTL) layout support:
| English | ไธญๆ (็ฎไฝ) โ Chinese (Simplified) |
| เคนเคฟเคจเฅเคฆเฅ โ Hindi | Espaรฑol โ Spanish |
| Franรงais โ French | ุงูุนุฑุจูุฉ โ Arabic (RTL) |
| เฆฌเฆพเฆเฆฒเฆพ โ Bengali | Portuguรชs โ Portuguese |
| ะ ัััะบะธะน โ Russian | Bahasa Indonesia |
| Deutsch โ German | ๆฅๆฌ่ช โ Japanese |
| Tiแบฟng Viแปt โ Vietnamese | ํ๊ตญ์ด โ Korean |
| Italiano โ Italian |
Pick one and the interface switches immediately. When selecting Arabic, the entire dashboard layout automatically flips to native right-to-left orientation. Your choice is saved to your account, so it applies on every device you sign in from.
This changes the Sitepins interface, not your content. Your siteโs own languages and multilingual setup are your static site generatorโs concern โ Sitepins edits whatever files you point it at, in whatever language theyโre written.
Theme
Three options:
- System โ follow your operating system
- Light
- Dark
The theme applies across the whole app, including the code editor and Markdown mode, which use matching syntax themes.
Git Co-authoring
This one has real consequences, so itโs worth understanding.
Every change you make in Sitepins becomes a Git commit. This setting decides whose name is on it.
Acting as You
Commits, branches, and pull requests are created with your personal Git identity, using your connected provider account.
git logand GitHubโs blame view show your name- Contribution graphs count the work
- Reviewers see who actually made the change
If your permissions on a repository arenโt sufficient for a particular action, Sitepins falls back to the bot automatically rather than failing.
Acting as the Bot
All repository actions are attributed to the Sitepins bot.
- Git history shows a single consistent author for CMS changes
- Easy to distinguish CMS edits from developer commits
- Doesnโt depend on each personโs individual repository permissions
Recommended when Sitepins is one input into an automated pipeline, or when you want CMS activity clearly separated from hand-written commits.
Which to choose
Acting as You is the better default for teams โ real attribution is worth having when youโre trying to work out who changed a page and why.
Acting as the Bot suits setups where the CMS is a machine in the workflow: a client-editable site where all content changes should look uniform, or a repository where automation filters commits by author.
The setting is per user, so different people on the same project can choose differently.
What Isnโt Here
Notification settings beyond the newsletter checkbox on the Account page. Sitepins doesnโt send activity email โ no digests, no per-change notifications.
