Shopify local theme development environment in 2018

Anybody knows about updates in Shopify local theme development? How to configure workflow. I would like to have local copy of the theme, use for edit Microsoft Code and when I click save button, changes should be to deploy in Shopify and browser preview windows updated automatically. Does it make sense?

The Shopify Theme gem and Slate system are both designed so that you can:

  • create code with your favourite editor and use a DVCS like git.
  • they provide watchers so that any edits are auto uploaded to a theme with an ID

This way you get to write theme code, and watch your edits on a preview theme (or live one, you choose)

Since this is also hooked into a DVCS you are free to work on a team too. Works for all modern platforms and for anyone with basic developer skills.
