Shopify CLI is now unified for app, theme, and Hydrogen development

Tools

Effective April 16, 2024

As of Shopify CLI 3.59, commands have been unified under a single npm package and our recommended installation method is as a global npm package. This provides developers with a single installation and upgrade point for all development with Shopify CLI.

Dependencies for Shopify CLI are now bundled into the package as well, reducing installation time and potential conflicts with developer dependencies.

Existing use of Shopify CLI as a local dependency in app and Hydrogen projects is still supported.
