  Shopify Theme Sync Free is a free Chrome browser extension that provides bidirectional real-time synchronization between the Shopify online theme editor and your local file system, designed for Shopify merchants and theme developers.
  
  Key Features:
  
  - Shopify → Local Sync: When you save a file in the Shopify admin theme editor, the extension automatically writes the changes to your local folder — no manual download needed.
  - Local → Shopify Sync: When you modify a theme file in your local code editor (e.g., VS Code), the extension automatically detects the changes and uploads them to your Shopify theme — no manual upload needed.
  - One-Click Clone: On first use, simply select a local folder and the extension will automatically download all files from the current Shopify theme into that folder.
  - Multi-Theme Support: Manage sync configurations for multiple Shopify themes simultaneously. Switching themes automatically restores the corresponding sync state.
  - Real-Time Status Display: A sync status indicator is shown at the bottom-right of the Shopify editor page, with detailed sync information also available in the popup.
  - Force Pull: Force pull the latest theme files from Shopify to overwrite local files, ensuring your local copy matches the live version.
  
  How to Use:
  
  1. After installing the extension, open the Shopify admin and navigate to any theme's editor page (URL pattern: `admin.shopify.com/store/*/themes/*`).
  2. Click the extension icon and select "Select Folder & Start Sync" to choose a local sync folder.
  3. The extension will automatically clone the current theme files to your local folder, then enter bidirectional sync mode.
  4. Files saved in the Shopify editor will automatically sync to your local folder; files modified locally will automatically upload to Shopify.
  
  This extension is completely free — no registration, login, or subscription required. All features are available without limits.
  
  The icon color updates automatically to reflect the current sync state across five distinct modes: when you're on a page that isn't a Shopify theme editor, it stays gray to signal that the extension is inactive; the moment you land on a Shopify page without a sync folder selected, it turns amber as an idle nudge that setup is still needed; once the extension starts pulling down theme files, it switches to blue for the cloning phase; when a sync folder is confirmed and two-way sync is live, it glows Shopify green to show everything is watching smoothly; and if anything goes wrong during sync, it flips to red to flag an error that needs your attention. All of this happens automatically with no manual step required.
  
  Shopify Theme Sync Free 是一款免费的 Chrome 浏览器扩展，为 Shopify 商家和主题开发者提供 Shopify 在线主题编辑器与本地文件系统之间的双向实时同步功能。
  
  核心功能：
  
  - Shopify → 本地同步：当您在 Shopify 后台主题编辑器中保存文件时，扩展会自动将更改写入本地文件夹，无需手动下载。
  - 本地 → Shopify 同步：当您在本地代码编辑器（如 VS Code）中修改主题文件后，扩展会自动检测文件变化并上传到 Shopify 主题，无需手动上传。
  - 一键克隆：首次使用时，选择一个本地文件夹，扩展会自动将当前 Shopify 主题的所有文件下载到该文件夹。
  - 多主题支持：可同时管理多个 Shopify 主题的同步配置，切换主题时自动恢复对应的同步状态。
  - 实时状态显示：在 Shopify 编辑器页面右下角显示同步状态指示器，弹窗中也展示详细的同步信息。
  - 强制拉取：支持从 Shopify 强制拉取最新主题文件覆盖本地，确保本地文件与线上一致。
  
  使用方法：
  
  1. 安装扩展后，打开 Shopify 后台并进入任意主题的编辑页面（路径为 `admin.shopify.com/store/*/themes/*`）。
  2. 点击扩展图标，在弹窗中点击「Select Folder & Start Sync」选择本地同步文件夹。
  3. 扩展将自动克隆当前主题文件到本地，完成后进入双向同步模式。
  4. 在 Shopify 编辑器中保存的文件会自动同步到本地；在本地修改的文件会自动上传到 Shopify。
  
  本扩展完全免费，无需注册、登录或订阅，所有功能无限制使用。
  
  图标颜色会随同步状态自动变化，共有五种状态：当你访问的不是 Shopify 主题页面时，图标显示为灰色，表示当前处于非活跃状态；一旦进入 Shopify 页面但尚未选择同步文件夹，图标切换为琥珀色，提示你还有配置未完成；当系统开始克隆主题文件时，图标变为蓝色，代表正在进行克隆；成功选择同步文件夹并开始双向同步后，图标变为 Shopify 标志性的绿色，表明一切运转正常；如果同步过程中发生错误，图标立即变红，提醒你需要介入处理。图标颜色会自动刷新，无需任何额外操作。
