How To Version Control CMS Configuration
IntermediateQuick Answer
TL;DR
Version control CMS configuration by storing schemas, plugins, custom components, environment settings, and deployment configuration in Git alongside your application code. Use schema-as-code to define content models in version-controlled files. Track configuration changes through pull requests with code review. Deploy CMS configuration changes through CI/CD pipelines. This ensures your CMS setup is reproducible, auditable, and recoverable.
Key Takeaways
- Store CMS schemas, plugins, and configuration in Git — not just in the CMS admin interface
- Use pull requests for CMS configuration changes so they are reviewed before deployment
- CI/CD pipelines should deploy CMS configuration changes alongside application code
