ShopCTL: A Developer-First Toolkit for Shopify Automation
Shopify at your fingertips with shell automation Learning Shopify has been on my bucket list for a few years now. Plenty of people in my circle — friends, colleagues, and fellow devs — are all somehow involved with Shopify in one way or the other. Earlier this year, I finally had some breathing room between projects, so I figured it was the perfect time to give Shopify a proper look. I started exploring the platform by setting up a dev store, poking around the admin, and skimming through the API manual. While this was a quick and easy start, it didn’t give me a deeper understanding of the platform. Plus, clicking my way through the UI felt repetitive and tedious. That got me thinking: is there a more efficient, developer-centric way to manage a store? Something that I could run in a terminal, plug into a CI/CD pipeline, or script my way out of those mundane tasks. Meet ShopCTL ankitpokhrel / shopctl
