This runs a local FTP server (on localhost) that will communicate with Shopify over HTTP API and allows you to upload/download/edit your theme files and assets using your favorite FTP client.
Note: this tool is built with Node.js and is installed via npm so make sure to have Node installed. I have tested this on Mac and Windows.
npm install -g shopify-cms
Setting up env variables:
SHOPIFY_CMS_SHOP
SHOPIFY_CMS_STOREFRONT_DIGEST
SHOPIFY_CMS_ACCESS_TOKEN
SHOPIFY_CMS_THEME_ID
SHOPIFY_CMS_FOLDER
`shopify-cms`
You will need a Shopify API key-pair.
- Go to: {store-name}.myshopify.com/admin/apps
- Click "Private Apps" in the top right corner
- Click on an existing private app or create a new one
- Copy the API key and Password
- You will need access to read / write Themes
