DESCRIPTION

Shopify themer is a simple script which uses WWW::Shopify::Private to fetch themes and assets from a Shopify store. It is meant to be used as either a standalone application, or integrated with Gedit as a plugin.

The gedit plugin is written in python, but ultimately is simply a wrapper around this script. Currently, support is limited to those OSs which look like Linux (i.e., have a home folder, with the gedit plugins located at ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins, and which can make symlinnks (not Windows XP)).

Windows support will be possible in newer versions.

Normally, you only have to specify the shop url, api key and password once per working directory/site. Don't try and create multiple site themes in the same directory as this is a _BAD_ _IDEA_.

The Shopify shop is the ultimate arbitrator of what is the 'final' version of a file; this makes good sense when multiple people are working on a shop, but may be somewhat annoying. What this means, is that:

For pushing: Files that are locally changed, and remotely not, will be pushed. Files that are locally changed, and remotely changed, will not be pushed. Files that are locally unchanged will only be pushed if the file is missing on the server.

For pulling: Files that are locally and remotely changed will be overwritten locally, so keep an eye out for this. Files that are locally not, and remotely chagned will be overritten locally. Files that are not present locally and remotely present will be pulled.
