Create Child theme in shopify store ?

[Ch_Yousuf]

How we can create a child theme in Shopify to avoid removing modifications in the parent theme code?
or any other solution related to updating the parent theme code.
thanks

Hi Ch_Yousuf,

Shopify doesn't have a parent -> child theme system in the same way that other platforms like WordPress do. So when you're updating and modifying themes you'd take a different approach. One reliable way to manage updates safely is to use the Shopify GitHub integration to:

• Automatically pull and push theme code from any organization or repository associated with your GitHub account
• Connect one or more branches from a repository to easily develop and test new theme features or campaigns
• Keep a theme up to date with commits to a branch, and track edits made in the Shopify admin, including the code editor and theme editor
• Connect branches to unpublished or published themes

To ensure that changes that you make are not affecting your live store, you'd edit a duplicate of the theme and then once you're ready you can publish that duplicate. 

Hope this helps!
