What is a common workflow for local development for shopify themeing?

Question

I've downloaded my shopify theme locally and have themekit installed. I've tried the theme open command with env=development. And that opened my live site.

I get that I can potentially edit files more easily locally. But is there any workflow around seeing these changes with like a localhost? Or must I essentially sync the local changes with my production site to see them?

Answer 1

Nevermind, with more searching I found theme watch which pushes changes to local files back up to the production site. This is not quite a typical local development workflow. But as long as you are essentially working on a private app emulates the process.
