Hi 👋

I was using Decap CMS and somewhat satisfied with the results. However, I felt it lacked polish, so I went looking for an alternative and found this project. It immediately worked locally (after I changed the backend from git-gateway to github and added the repo key) and is much more polished in my opinion; nice work!

However, upon deployment to production, I find that I cannot login. The admin page loads fine, there are no console errors, CSP warnings, etc. When I click login, I immediately see 'Authentication aborted. Please try again.' and a corresponding 'Authentication aborted undefined' console error.
The https://api.netlify.com/auth?provider=github&site_id=<my domain>&scope=repo%2Cuser page opens, with content 'Not found' and a 404 response code.

My backend configuration is the following:

backend:
  name: github
  repo: jonnyowenpowell/<my site repo>
  branch: main

The repository is private, I'm unsure if this matters but I'm including it for completeness.

I have tried with and without the Netlify Identity widget loaded on the admin page. I have tried clearing my site data. I did not change any Netlify Identity settings when I switched from Decap CMS.

I cannot find any issues about this, so I assume I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

Update:

I have resolved the 404 response from Netlify - I simply changed the backend from git-gateway to github and didn't stop to configure the backend according to Decap CMS documentation. Silly me! I now have a GitHub OAuth app setup, and get a nice 'Authenticated' message - but the site still displays the same 'Authentication aborted. Please try again.' message.
