Hi @jimafisk

It came to my attention via a developer in the community I am in that they were using Netlify's Git Gateway as a way to connect your site to a Git provider’s API allowing tools such as a CMS to work with content, branches, and pull requests on your users’ behalf.

They were using it with an 11ty site with Decap as the CMS. I wondered whether this could be possible with Plenti's CMS?

If this were possible with Plenti then the CI/CD pipeline process might have to be done in Netlify? I'm not sure.

One advantage I can see with this approach would possibly be a nicer way to add clients who need to get access to the CMS with Google logins. The client just gets an invite via email and can then just log in. You can have 5 users per site. They can save and it commits to the main branch just like we currently do with Plenti/Gitlab/CI/CD.

It looks like it uses JSON Web Tokens. I don't know if that is compatible with how Plenti is setup currently.
Here a couple of screenshots in Netlify:

It would be great to know whether this would be possible with Plenti.

BTW. Here is the repo on Github
