when i run shopify theme pull it does not show my development theme

[bilal003]

I've initialized them using theme init in my vs code. Now I run the Shopify theme dev command and open the link to Customize this theme in the Theme Editor. I want to pull the changes I've made in my theme editor. but when I run the Shopify theme pull command it shows me a list of themes in my store and I have to choose one of them to pull. but I don't want that I want to pull changes I've made in my development theme but it is not on the list.

For me, the issue is I see some old stale dev theme but not my current one. So I can't make customizations and `theme pull` them because my changes apparently are saving to a dev theme that doesn't exist and/or isn't able to pull from.

I'm also having the same issue. Shopify theme dev successfully serves a new instance of the dev theme, but it does not show up in the list of themes to pull.

@bilal003 & @jamesauble - Figured it out!

You need to add the -d flag at the end of the command: shopify theme pull -d

See docs about pull flags: https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/tools/cli/commands#pull
