Hi all!
Presently, I am trying to just get started with the shopify CLI. I have set up my shopify site, etc. everything and installed the shopify-cli with homebrew. (For exactly what I did in terms of setting up the site, I followed all of the directions from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dznKWXkL3E&list=PLsr48ksn9_9Bzii-fRXRTVAo3OPYTtMAU but diverged after the CLI was installed)
However, when I attempt
shopify theme pull --verbose --store=https://not-my-actual-site.myshopify.com/
I am getting this
2025-06-22T23:58:22.321Z: Running command theme pull

It hangs forever on this last line.
I saw a post here (https://community.shopify.dev/t/shopify-cli-theme-pull-error-relating-to-graph/7424), which is pretty dang close to the identical issue. The resolution to the problem was to simply reinstall and uninstall
-
Node and npm (using nvm)
-
Git (using homebrew)
-
Shopify CLI
-
Homebrew
However, this didn’t work for me, and I am still encountering the above error. (I also verified all of these were uninstalled before reinstalling them too)
Any help on this would be appreciated! Thanks!
