How can I publish a development theme using CLI?

jtmelendez92 · ‎01-14-2022

I am developing a theme locally using the shopify-cli. I can preview the theme using the

shopify theme serve

However, when i try to publish my local changes to the live theme using the following flow:

shopify theme push --publish

I get this error:

Have you already pushing the theme with

shopify theme push --unpublished

?

Edit: didn't saw the date
