What is it?

Statamic is a content management system that installs as a Composer package into an existing Laravel application. It is designed around flat-file storage, so content lives in files that can be versioned with Git rather than in a traditional database-backed content store.

This repository holds the core Statamic package. A separate application repository provides a preconfigured Laravel project, and the Statamic CLI uses that to scaffold new sites. Official developer support is offered on Statamic Pro projects, with community help on GitHub Discussions and Discord.

The project is aimed at developers building content-driven websites on Laravel who want an editable control panel on top of files they manage in version control.

Things to know
