Hey Robby, Great to see you again 😊

[@tomaszposiadaa5174]

Thanks Robby, I like your teaching style! Fast, to the point and very knowledgeable! Keep at it!

[@dannydiscovers]

Hi Robby, your videos are great - keep posting! You're improving every time

[@codingwithrobby]

Thanks for the kind words, I’ll keep at it!

Thank you for this. Just getting started using the CLI (and shopify to be honest) so sorry if this is a silly question. Assuming I never want to push to the live site, the part that I was hoping for a little more clarity on was if I make changes as per your video, then I make changes via the customise section inside shopify admin (page sections, blocks, layout etc) is all of this data tied to the theme or is any of it outside the scope of the theme? I just don't want to be changing things in one place, push a change or pull a copy of the theme and overwrite something. I'm guessing I should work on one or the other and push/pull depending on what I just updated each time? Thanks again.. great content!

[@AbelsColdSweat]

Really appreciate and hope for more Shopify videos! Thx!

[@pullmanization]

Dig the quick videos, perfect for my style of learning. Only thing I'm missing is the terminals. Can't find any good content on Terminals, I have Git CMD? Is that the same as Terminal?

Thank you so so much. I have been trying to wrap my head around shopify theme development but to no avail. After watching the video I am now beginning to feel confident and assured that I am on the right track. Please if you could create a Udemy course or something on Shopify theme development, it will be great.

[@hajimeippo804]

Thank you very much

[@alcuinodeyork]

Great tutorial! Thank you for this. You just got a new sub 👌🏼

[@richardb8446]

Great video. You forgot to add ‘ -u’ at the end of ‘shopify theme push’, that’s why you didn’t see your new theme at Shopify

[@leanprogrammer]

These videos are so helpful! keep it up!

[@FreelanceFadi]

At 9:04 I believe you should have used "shopify theme share" to upload your development theme as a new, unpublished theme in your theme library.

[@webok]

Hey Robby have you fully switched over to Shopify CLI now? Just curious, thanks for all the great content.

[@codingwithrobby]

Hello! Yes, I’ve been using it on all new projects. I don’t bother converting old projects though, Themekit still works good for those.

[@webok]

@@codingwithrobby Ya that makes perfect sense. Again, really appreciate the videos.

[@GrantEmerson-nu9gn]

Thanks for the video!

[@seankim3472]

Thanks Robby, I can't see the product image locally?I think it's designated as a relative path, is there a way to check the image locally?

[@richardleetulio7441]

[@thebenkalungi]

Thanks for the video

[@erikswanson3441]

[@webmaster246]

@Coding with Robby do you have advanced course for CLI on Udemy or any relevant platform to support you ?

[@KinixDigital]

Thank you. Are you available to do theme development work as well?

[@codingwithrobby]

Occasionally, send me an email and I’ll let you know if it’s something I can help you with.

[@fazaljarral2792]

How did you authenticate with the shop?

[@maheshappaji1273]

[@ufess1620]

hello, whenever I do this i have an "bundle install" error. Any solution to this

[@jovcemalakovski9148]

[@amitj5451]

Want to see Shopify app development tutorial from your end please it's a humble request❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@codingwithrobby]

Working on it!

[@DanielLittleThunder]

I really dislike the Shopify CLI. You have to do too many things manually. With themekit you just connect your theme with github integration, run `theme watch` from your local environment after setting up your config.yml file, and everything works. When you make a file change, theme watch picks it up, updates the live store and updates the connected repo. It also has a notify function you can tap into to do all kinds of other stuff. The Shopify CLI is just clunky and manual. And if you push a theme and the settings in a JSON file have changed, they will overwrite the changes on the development theme in Shopify. But I guess it's all going to the Shopify CLI, because I heard that themekit will not recognize the new theme blocks 'blocks' folder and it won't recognize changes to style settings that are coming. Pretty jank.

theme kit not working on my Linux system

[@codingwithrobby]

This video uses the Shopify cli which is separate from theme kit

[@RaoQurbanAli-v5d]

Hi @robby i'm trying to develope my web on local machine but when im trying these all steps in command " To run this command, log in to Shopify Partners." can you confirm me its just work with shopify partner account?

[@Kira-eb2vw]

can you show me how to use product.compare_at_price? I was planning to add a sale banner for products on sale and no banner for products not onsale and I got stock

[@joaopraia8464]

Try first checking whether the product is on sale and wrap it around your action {% if product.compare_at_price > product.price %} --> do something {% elif %} --> do something else

[@Kira-eb2vw]

@@joaopraia8464 yeah I already figured that out after the comment
