I’m working on a Shopify theme and installed the guard-shopify gem to help with development. I managed to set up the API credentials but I’m having trouble with the next steps.

I need help understanding how to:

  • Set up local file editing with the gem
  • Configure guard to automatically sync changes
  • Make sure files push correctly to my Shopify store

Has anyone successfully used this gem for theme development? Any tips would be helpful.

i had a similar issue! make sure your guardfile is set up right. after you run guard start, if it freezes, just hit ctrl+c and start again. also, double-check your API keys, that can be a biggie!
