How to Use Shopify Command Line?

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features. One of the great things about Shopify is that it can be used by anyone, regardless of their technical skills.

If you’re a developer, you may be wondering how you can use Shopify’s command line interface (CLI). In this article, we’ll show you how to get started with Shopify CLI and how it can be used to streamline your workflow.

PRO TIP: The following note is a warning for anyone considering using the Shopify Command Line tool. This tool is not intended for novice users and can result in serious damage to your Shopify account if used improperly. Use at your own risk.

Shopify CLI is a tool that allows developers to interact with the Shopify platform from the command line. It can be used to create and manage your shop’s themes, products, and customers. It’s also a great way to get started with developing for Shopify if you’re not familiar with its codebase.

To install Shopify CLI, you’ll first need to have Node.js installed on your machine. Once Node.js is installed, you can use the following command to install Shopify CLI:

$ npm install -g Shopify-cli

Once Shopify CLI is installed, you’ll need to create a new file called Shopify-cli.yml in your project’s root directory. This file will contains your shop’s configuration settings. You can find more information about the contents of this file in the Shopify CLI documentation.

#shopify-cli.yml

shop_name: my-shop-name
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY #You can generate an API key from the “Apps” section of your shop’s admin panel.
password: YOUR_PASSWORD #This is your shop’s password.

Once you’ve created this file, you can run the following command to connect to your shop:

$ Shopify login -c path/to/shopify-cli.yml

After running this command, you will be prompted for your shop’s domain name and API key. Once these credentials have been entered, you will be logged in and able to access your shop’s data from the command line.

To get started, try running the following command:

$ Shopify help

This will print out a list of all the available commands that can be run with Shopify CLI. For more information about each command, you can use the –help flag:

$ Shopify help [command] –help

For example, if we want more information about the products command, we would run:

$ Shopify help products –help
