Git Sync is a Plugin for Grav CMS that allows to seamlessly synchronize a Git repository with your Grav site, and vice-versa.

Git Sync captures any change that you make on your site and instantly updates your git repository. In the same way, Git Sync supports webhooks, allowing to automatically synchronize your site if the repository changes.

Thanks to this powerful bi-directional flow, Git Sync can now turn your site into a collaborative environment where the source of truth is always your git repository and unlimited collaborators and sites can share and contribute to the same content.
