But the whole point of me using Contentful is that a non-developer will have an easy time editing content within Contentful vs. having to set up a local way of accessing those markdown/yml files through a git repo. Or do you somehow abstract that away?

Yeah, that would be nice to know, because that is one of the reasons I use Contentful at the moment. The source is on github and triggers Travis if I push changes, which in turn get's the content from Contentful, builds the static site with metalsmith and uploads the site through FTP. Or if the non-developer makes changes on Contentful this triggers Travis as well etc.

Works quite nice so far (especially since I didn't need to explain how to optimize the images) but would prefer a open source solution.

Late reply, but content authors only need to create a GitHub account for this cms. They don't need to run git or anything else locally.
