Shopify CLI for apps

Shopify CLI accelerates app development by creating app records, generating extensions, building projects, opening local previews through tunnels, deploying configuration, and streaming app logs.

Create an app

pnpm create @shopify/create-app@latest

You can pass a Shopify app template or a GitHub template URL with the --template flag.
