Hello everyone, it’s been a while! I just published a video that is a must-watch if you ever customize your theme with code.
It’s about how you can modify your theme but keep it update-friendly.
This is one of the biggest problems in Shopify right now. You customize something, but then you can’t update your theme or else you’ll lose your code changes!
Any code changes need to be manually moved across to the new theme.
Professional developers have tools that can track code changes and automate this process. However, these tools are difficult to use and usually not worth learning for the casual coder.
Instead, you can follow some best practices for keeping your code clean and as separated as possible from the rest of your theme. So that when it’s time to update, moving those changes across will be easy.
