Overview

What Is Sitepins?

Sitepins is a Git-based content editor built specifically for static site generators like Astro, Hugo, Next.js, Eleventy, and others. It gives your team a visual interface for managing content.

Unlike traditional CMSs, Sitepins doesn’t host or render your site. It doesn’t generate layouts or dictate structure. Instead, it:

• Reads your existing content files (Markdown, JSON, YAML, TOML) from your Git repository
• Overlays a visual editor that lets you manage that content without touching code

The content stays in your codebase. Sitepins just adds a user-friendly editing layer on top — ideal for marketers, writers, or anyone who prefers not to use a code editor.

No configuration is needed. Just connect your repo, pick your content and media folders, and start editing.
