Create initial child theme

This may just be a placeholder. I’m trying to backfill some content that I did not have the time to write in the last quarter of 2024.

Shopify Child Theme

Shopify is similar to Wordpress in that it uses Themes for all presentation customization.

I learned that you can download the files from a theme, put them up on your own Github instance, and then connect your Shopify theme configuration to your Github repo. So that’s what I did.

Main & Staging

On advice from an article I read, I have the theme in production (publicly visible) connected to the main branch, and a second theme instance connected to the staging branch.

This will let me do activate development and testing of features using live data in a staging environment without actually affecting production until we merge over.
