Clones a Git repository to your local machine to use as the starting point for building a theme.
If no Git repository is specified, then this command creates a copy of Shopify's Skeleton theme, with the specified name in the current folder. If no name is provided, then you're prompted to enter one.
Caution: If you're building a theme for the Shopify Theme Store, then you can use our example theme as a starting point. However, the theme that you submit needs to be substantively different from existing themes so that it provides added value for users.
