theme push

Uploads your local theme files to Shopify, overwriting the remote version if specified.

If no theme is specified, then you're prompted to select the theme to overwrite from the list of the themes in your store.

You can run this command only in a directory that matches the default Shopify theme folder structure.

This command returns the following information:

A link to the editor for the theme in the Shopify admin.
A preview link that you can share with others.

If you use the --json flag, then theme information is returned in JSON format, which can be used as a machine-readable input for scripts or continuous integration.

Sample output:

{

"theme": {

"id": 108267175958,

"name": "MyTheme",

"role": "unpublished",

"shop": "mystore.myshopify.com",

"editor_url": "https://mystore.myshopify.com/admin/themes/108267175958/editor",

"preview_url": "https://mystore.myshopify.com/?preview_theme_id=108267175958"
