    Using Netlify's hosted Identity and Git Gateway service with Netlify CMS when hosted on a separate service.

CMS config.yml changes

The backend section of your config should contain the following three keys. Replace www.my-netlify-site.com with your Netlify site URL.
backend:
  name: git-gateway
  identity_url: "https://www.my-netlify-site.com/.netlify/identity"
  gateway_url: "https://www.my-netlify-site.com/.netlify/git"
CMS index.html changes

Assuming you already have the Netlify Identity script added (netlify-identity-widget.js), use the script netlify-identity.js instead.
  <script src="https://identity.netlify.com/v1/netlify-identity.js"></script>
Next, add this script to your <body>, but make sure it is before the CMS script. Again, replace www.my-netlify-site.com with your Netlify site URL.
  <script>
    netlifyIdentity.init({
      APIUrl: "https://www.my-netlify-site.com/.netlify/identity"
    });
  </script>

  
## config.yml
backend:
  name: git-gateway
  identity_url: "https://www.my-netlify-site.com/.netlify/identity"
  gateway_url: "https://www.my-netlify-site.com/.netlify/git"
