Shopify Starter Theme

This is a Sass- and Gulp-ready starter theme for Shopify theme development. It is meant to be heavily edited and modified for each custom theme project.

Dependencies

This theme requires that you have Node, Sass, and Gulp installed on your computer.

You may also want to use the Shopify Theme gem, and a template config.yml file is included for that purpose.

Installation

  • Clone this repo locally and change the name
  • Zip the folder and import the zip to your Shopify store, then delete the local zip file
  • Click to customize the theme and grab the theme ID from the URL
  • Create a private app and enter the theme ID, store URL and API credentials into config.yml
  • Run npm install to get the Gulp packages installed
  • Open the theme via command line and run gulp watch & theme watch so that your Sass is auto-processed and updated theme files are automatically loaded to the site

CAUTION!

The theme gem auto-updates your theme as you save files when it is running. Use caution when working with the active theme on a live site.

There is a .gitignore file included in the repo if you want to also use a Git workflow of some sort.
