Your content.
Your repo.
Your control.
Direct GitHub OAuth connection. No Git commands needed. No vendor lock-in.
What is GitHub Integration?
md0 CMS connects directly to your GitHub repositories via OAuth authentication. You authorize md0 the same way you would authorize any GitHub App: a permission screen, a click, done. No personal access tokens to generate and rotate, no SSH keys to add to your account, no Git commands to run in a terminal.
Your markdown files stay in your repository, on the branch you choose. md0 reads and writes files directly through the GitHub Contents API, the same API GitHub itself uses for its web-based file editor. When you save content in md0 CMS, it commits to your repo automatically under your GitHub identity. There is no separate database holding your content and no sync job that could drift out of date, because the repo is the only copy that exists.
Zero vendor lock-in. Your content is standard markdown in Git, not a proprietary format stored in md0's database. Disconnect md0 CMS at any time and every file, every commit, and every bit of history stays in your repository exactly as it was. There is nothing to export and nothing to migrate, because your content was never anywhere but GitHub in the first place.
