Netlify CMS

I’m trying to set up a website with 11ty and netlify cms but whenever I try to go to my admin panel I get this

Config Errors:
config must have required property 'media_folder'
config must have required property 'media_library'
config must match a schema in anyOf
config must have required property 'collections'
Check your config.yml file.

Here is my complete config.yml

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  branch: main

  media_folder: "public/assets/blog"
  public_folder: "/assets/blog"
  collections: 
  - name: "blog"
    label: "Blog"
    folder: "src/blog"
    create: true
    slug: "{{year}}-{{month}}-{{day}}-{{slug}}"
    fields: 
      - { label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string" } 
      - { label: "Description", name: "description", widget: "string" }
      - { label: "Author", name: "Author", widget: "string" }
      - { label: "Date", name: "date", widget: "datetime" }
      - { label: "Tags", name: "tags", widget: "list", default: ["post"] }
      - { label: "Featured Image", name: "image", widget: "image" }
      - { label: "Image Caption", name: "imageAlt", widget: "string" }
      - { label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown" }

Can someone help?

Your config isn’t indented the right way:

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  branch: main

media_folder: "public/assets/blog"
public_folder: "/assets/blog"
collections: 
  - name: "blog"
    label: "Blog"
    folder: "src/blog"
    create: true
    slug: "{{year}}-{{month}}-{{day}}-{{slug}}"
    fields: 
      - { label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string" } 
      - { label: "Description", name: "description", widget: "string" }
      - { label: "Author", name: "Author", widget: "string" }
      - { label: "Date", name: "date", widget: "datetime" }
      - { label: "Tags", name: "tags", widget: "list", default: ["post"] }
      - { label: "Featured Image", name: "image", widget: "image" }
      - { label: "Image Caption", name: "imageAlt", widget: "string" }
      - { label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown" }
