My company works on a number of Shopify sites that have Themekit integrated into their deployment pipeline. Mainly, it’s just being used for theme get and theme deploy commands. This is despite using an Online Store 2.0 theme.
I know that sites using Online Store 2.0 themes are supposed to use Shopify CLI. However, it seems that theme deploy is more or less just an rsync over SFTP. It’s working as-is, so it can be hard to justify changing the company’s deployment pipelines.
What technical reason is there for using Shopify CLI to deploy theme files as opposed to Themekit?
Thanks!
