Shopify CLI Commands

All commands target the Citera store. Set it once to save typing:


export SHOP=citera-yhzgew4z.myshopify.com

Authentication


# Sign out of every cached account
shopify auth logout
 
# There is no explicit login — the next command that needs the store
# opens a browser to authenticate and caches the session.
shopify theme list --store=$SHOP

Pull the live theme (quickstart)


shopify theme pull \
  --store=$SHOP \
  --theme=155731558590 \
  --path=./citera-shopify-theme

shopify theme push overwrites the target theme’s files. Always push to an unpublished theme first (--unpublished) and publish from the Admin once you’ve reviewed the preview.

Linting before push


cd citera-shopify-theme
shopify theme check

Theme Check catches Liquid errors, deprecated filters, performance issues and accessibility problems. Fix (or explicitly ignore) findings before pushing.
