I’m building theme app extension for an existing app. Below is what I did.
- Create app with shopify cli
- Scaffold theme app extension
- Run deploy from local, this will generate the .env in root. In this step you can create a new app or add the extension to an already existing app.
Here is a sample gitlab ci/cd that worked for me.
