GitHub as a CMS

I recently posted the tools I use to grow developer-first products.

This included:

It also included GitHub as a CMS, and someone asked:

How is GitHub being used as CMS?

How I used GitHub as a CMS:

  1. Add content ideas in Issues
  2. Start writing β€” when done, create a Pull Request
  3. Request reviews and iterate
  4. When ready, merge commits

It might sound counterintuitive to use GitHub as a CMS.

For me, it's key.

When you're targeting a technical audience, i.e. people who use GitHub daily, using GitHub as a CMS helps you talk like your customers β€” it helps you keep developer-focused.

From my perspective, it's essential when you do marketing to developers.
