Section blocks not updating using shopify theme dev

I have been trying to find a way to preview changes to the section blocks after I save the files locally. When using

but the actual customization components don't updated unless I either push the code or use the code editor on the website. Is there a way to do this? It makes tinkering with the customization features hard. 

When I say customization components I mean when I go to my store and click themes and scroll down to my development duplicate and click customize those components do not sync with the changes I make locally on my machine. I figured since its constantly in sync with that copy of the store the changes should be there no? Id really appreciate the help.
