How to use

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example cms-tina cms-tina-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example cms-ghost cms-tina-app
# or
pnpm create next-app -- --example cms-ghost cms-tina-app

Setp 1. Run Next.js in development mode

To get started, no configuration is needed for local development and editing.

npm install
npm run tina-dev

# or

yarn install
yarn tina-dev

Your blog should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.

Step 2. Editing blog posts.

Tina is git backed and uses markdown, JSON or MDX to power websites. To enter edit mode locally you just need to visit http://localhost:3000/admin

You can then select the collection "Blog Posts" and then the content you would like to edit.

Once you hit save, Tina will use our graphQL modify the content on your filesystem.

Step 4. Deploy on Vercel

You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

Deploy Your Local Project

To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub. Once you have pushed to GitHub, sign up for your Tina Cloud account at https://app.tina.io/register. Then follow the steps below:

  3. Follow steps to connect your GitHub repo.
  4. Copy your Client ID

Then import to Vercel.
