Shopify CLI 2.0 is a Ruby-based command-line tool that helps developers build Shopify apps and themes faster by scaffolding projects and automating common development tasks. This version is deprecated and was sunset on May 31, 2023, in favor of Shopify CLI 3.0 (Shopify/cli).
Use cases
- scaffold a new shopify app from the command line
- generate shopify app extensions
- preview shopify theme changes locally
- automate shopify development tasks
- initialize a shopify theme project
- deploy shopify app configuration
When to choose
- you must maintain a legacy project already built with CLI 2.0
- you need to inspect or fork the old Ruby implementation
When to avoid
- starting any new Shopify app, theme, or storefront project
- you want an actively maintained tool - use Shopify CLI 3.0 (Shopify/cli) instead
- you need current Shopify platform features or support
