Check: - Tina CMS: https://tina.io/ https://tina.io/ - Primo CMS: https://primocms.org/ https://primocms.org/ More generally, try looking for `git-based cms` or `CMS+SSG`, you'll find a diverse set of solutions. Anyway, you had it in reverse. Static generation is the easy part, while what you're looking for is a subset category of CMSs. So you should be looking under the CMS umbrella. You can also setup any generic Headless CMS to trigger generation for a static site. There's not much incentive to build a full fledged CMS, only to clip its wings and limit it to "static site only".
