Debugging

When debugging the CMS with Git Gateway you must:

• Have a Netlify site with Git Gateway and Netlify Identity enabled. An easy way to create such a site is to use a template, for example the Gatsby template

• Tell the CMS the URL of your Netlify site using a local storage item. To do so:

  • Open http://localhost:8080/ in the browser
  • Write the below command and press enter: localStorage.setItem('netlifySiteURL', 'https://yourwebsiteurl.netlify.app/')
  • To be sure, you can run this command as well: localStorage.getItem('netlifySiteURL')
  • Refresh the page
  • You should be able to log in via your Netlify Identity email/password
