How can I upload all theme files at once?

[ANDev]

I spend a lot of my time modifying the `.liquid` files that are in the theme used. Also, when I install an app, it modifies these files, so I often download them all to be able to do a diff to see what was modified.

Is there a way to upload all theme files? So that I do not have to manually edit them 1 by 1?

Manually themes can be uploaded as zip files in the theme add min.

If diffs are you main focus use the github integration

For local to remote development use shopifys-themekit or the shopify-cli

https://shopify.dev/themes/tools/theme-kit

If you have private|custom app access on a store despite what the docs say about OS2.0 themes vs vintage themes between cli v theme, themekit is a better fit for simpler workflows and lower end hardware and portability at the expense of some initial setup.

If your spending enough time in theme files that this is a concern that is an indicator you need to review the entire dev docs on themes to make long term time gains.
