Offline development without Internet access

[JordanDe]

Hey all

I am going to be going on a trip where I will have limited access if any to Internet. 

As I am still very new to Shopify and coming from a engineering background I'm using to being able to work completely offline for web development - automation engineer by trade and would build quite complex automation test suites for front end and backend systems. 

Is there a way I can setup my local machine to do development of my store completely offline? From what I've read, the theme kit still requires internet?

Hi, @JordanDe. Rio here from the Shopify Community team. 

If you're building with Online Store 2.0 themes you should be able to use Shopify CLI for themes. This way you can set up your environment locally and preview and make changes. 

Although I can't say for sure if it will function correctly without any acces, I'm sure you should be able to test certain functions and safely preview your themes.
