Overview

Shopify CLI 3.0 is a great tool for theme development however it is hard to manage compared to Shopify themekit when it comes to handling multiple stores.

Via themekit we are able to connect a folder to a specific store without needing to switch authentication.

Motivation

I am handling multiple stores at a time, and doing minimal changes while working on a big feature at another store. You can say that in a day I need to switch to around 5-10 stores.
Then I have a client in Shopify Plus that atleast have 6 different stores in one account but still need relogging in everytime you switch.

It is very hard to switch as I need to relogin all the time just to connect with another store's CLI.
For example you are working on a big feature in store A, then store B just needs a very tiny change.
Switching to store B and switching back to A takes alot more effort than the actual change. Unlike with themekit before where you can easily have 10 code editor opened then just switch very easily by literally just moving to the editor that is connected with the store and viola you are done.

Ideally I loved how the authenticator making our accounts more secured but with authenticator this makes it a lot harder so I was forced to remove it.

I have been using the Shopify CLI since it was released, but almost everyday I want to switch back to themekit because of this. I hope you can find a way.
