VS Code extension CMS for managing markdown and MDX content in Git.
Front Matter CMS is best for small businesses that already use VS Code to manage a website or blog built with a static site generator like Hugo, Astro, or Next.js. The biggest win is that it turns your code editor into a full content dashboard — no separate CMS subscription needed. The catch is that your whole team needs to be comfortable working inside VS Code and with Git, which rules out most non-technical staff.
Manage markdown and MDX content files directly inside VS Code
Browse, create, and edit blog posts or pages with a visual dashboard panel
Handle media and image assets without leaving your editor
Works with popular static site generators like Hugo, Astro, Jekyll, and Next.js
Use AI to auto-generate content titles, descriptions, and tags
