 Keep in mind that the local repository support doesn’t perform any Git operations. You’ll have to manually fetch, pull, commit and push all changes using a Git client. In the near future, we’ll figure out if there’s a way to do this in a browser (because `netlify-cms-proxy-server` actually has undocumented `git` mode that allows developers to create commits to a local repository).
