Quick start

The fastest path from zero to a working Pages CMS setup.

Quick start

If you just want to try Pages CMS, use the hosted app.

  1. Go to app.pagescms.org.
  2. Sign in with GitHub.
  3. Install the GitHub App on the account or organization that owns your repository.
  4. Open the repository you want to edit.
  5. Create .pages.yml when prompted.
  6. Start editing.

Minimal config

Use this as a first working config:

media: media
content:
  - name: pages
    label: Pages
    type: collection
    path: docs
    fields:
      - name: title
        type: string
      - name: body
        type: rich-text

This gives you:

  • one media folder at media/,
  • one editable collection at docs/,
  • a title field,
  • a rich-text body field.

What to do next

  1. Add more fields.
  2. Configure media storage.
  3. Adjust filenames and collection view.
