Headless CMS extension for cispa.de with Jekyll and Netlify

As jekyll and our CI/CD-based toolchain required the writing of markdown/yaml pased text files and the usage of git, we wanted to have a system in place, that enabled non-tech personnel an easier way to write news-posts. A new website setup was already on the horizon, so we needed a simple and quick solution, to fill the time until then.

After some research we found netlify CMS and integrated it easily in our existing jekyll setup and the existing CI/CD deployment scheme.
