Problem with configuring Netlify CMS with Git Gateway

I am trying to use this Gatsby starter with Netlify CMS. https://github.com/stackrole-dev/gatsby-starter-foundation

I followed the instructions exactly but after enabling Git Gateway, when I try to login in as admin I encountered this error massage. 

Your Git Gateway backend is not returning valid settings. Please make sure it is enabled.

I have no ideas why it is not working.

My config.yml is

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  commit_messages:
    create: 'Create {{collection}} “{{slug}}”'
    update: 'Update {{collection}} “{{slug}}”'
    delete: 'Delete {{collection}} “{{slug}}”'
    uploadMedia: '[skip ci] Upload “{{path}}”'
    deleteMedia: '[skip ci] Delete “{{path}}”'

local_backend: true # run npx netlify-cms-proxy-server for local testing

media_folder: "static/assets" 
public_folder: "/assets"

I solved this issue by disabling the git gateway and enabling it again.

  • Go to Site configuration
  • Then navigate to services, it is under the Identity section

Netlify settings page

  • Click on disable git gateway and enable it once again

enter image description here

  • Then try to log into your Netlify CMS it should work.

I faced the same issue while configuring Netlify CMS. I faced this issue because I was passing master branch in Netlify CMS config but in GitHub repo my branch was main.My issue was resolved by changing branch config.yaml

You need to enable your settings for git-gateway and external providers in your Netlify as shown in Netlify documentation:

git-gateway

This configuration can be found under https://app.netlify.com/sites/YOURNAME/settings/identity

In addition, your config.yml lacks:

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  repo: username/repository
  branch: master

Note: change username and repository for your names.
