Hi,
I was developing a custom Sense theme on my local machine using shopify CLI to push, pull changes, for example shopify theme serve, shopify theme pull. It was working perfectly fine for a month and then last morning it just disappeared and I can no longer access it. Contacted Shopify’s support, and they say they cannot find the theme nor they can see it. What happened and how to recover it/prevent it from happening in the future? Am doing something wrong in terms of how I set up shopify CLI or something? Very bummed.
It is important to note that it was a Development theme (aka the hidden theme). From here: https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/tools/cli it says "
You can create a development theme using the shopify theme dev command.
You can use development themes on a Shopify store or a development store. Development themes don’t count toward your theme limit, and are deleted from the store after seven days of inactivity.
Your development theme is deleted when you run shopify auth logout. If you want a preview link for the theme that can be accessed after you log out, then you should push your development theme to an unpublished theme on your store." so I suppose if it was inactive for 7 days it just got deleted? I lost so much progress.. Now if I do shopify theme dev it has some resemblance of the theme I had before, some progress is lost, and also the product template now is missing.
