When Netlify CMS uses the git-gateway backend, it will check for a window.netlifyIdentity object and use that to handle the whole auth flow. This also sets defaults for the git-gateway endpoint, that means it can be used in templates with zero configuration and fit with a one-click deploy to Netlify approach. Netlify Identity itself is based on our open-source GoTrue microservice, and Netlify's Git Gateway project is completely open-source as well. The git-gateway backend will work with Netlify without any setup, but can also be configured to work with any selfhosted GoTrue and Git Gateway instances.

This allows the CMS to use Netlify Identity or any self-hosted GoTrue
instace, together with Git Gateway to manage users and roles outside
of any git provider.
