How to Use GIT with Shopify Themes

[@fabiomangolini]

The video is well done but in my opinion doesn’t face the tricky part of using git with shopify. I mean this is a beginner tutorial about git as many we can find out there, but what is difficult to understant is how create a complex development architecture between git, github (bitbucket etc) and shopify. Let’s make an example: I have 2 shopify store with a Prod theme and a Dev theme. The themes on the 2 store are same with small differences. In a case study like this, would be interesting to see how to set branches etc... and how to deploy from Dev to Prod

Agreed! This would be super helpful in a more advanced instance. I tried to go over a more simplified use case in this tutorial, but still give an idea of how to best use dev stores with a production store and what order to do specific commands in. Hopefully we can do a follow up that has more complex use cases.

Great content Tiffany Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 This channel is a great source of information for developers wanting to understand shopify better. I am just starting with shopify development and learning how to make my first theme. Many thanks for that 🙏🙏🙏✌️

Hi there. Thanks for this video! I believe the gotcha file to be cautious of is actually settings_data.json not settings_schema.json :) I can't believe I'm now a midnight KZbin commenter acting like a know-it-all but hey, it's a weird year....

Is this still up-to-date with Shopify CLI? Especially interested in the Workflow section. If a theme is tracked by Git, wouldn't it automatically be updated once the branch is merged?

Great video! Informative! I was curious on how I can see my changes locally if I were working on my own branch.

Thanks a lot, very clear

Is the config.yml file something you would want to hide with gitignore bc it contains the api key and other stuff?

Great content, we are doing this at the company I work for, but we encountered a problem when we create more than one branch for each feature developed, for example, we always create the branch from the master, sometimes the developer creates some features in a row for the same client , and it creates different branches, it can't wait until the validation of one branch to start the other one, so when it goes back to master and creates a new branch and goes to work on the theme it gets kind of outdated because the theme is up to date and the branch is not (because the old branch has not yet been validated and merged with the master), any solution for this?

What's the name of your company? I'd like to know companies who work with shopify related technologies
