You can connect Netlify CMS to your local git repo (currenly a beta feature) by running this command in a separate terminal.

$ npx netlify-cms-proxy-server

The Netlify CMS Admin will then be available at localhost:8000/admin.

For more details on how to set up the CMS, check out the Netlify CMS Docs.

🚨 Known issues

When running Netlify CMS locally and updating a page, I regularly get the following error:

There was an error in your GraphQL query: Field "image" must not have a selection since type "String" has no subfields.

This seems to have to do with the gatsby-remark-relative-images plugin. However, the solution suggested in the docs didn't fix the issue for me.

I've you find a solution that works, please let me know or submit a pull request. Thanks!
