Creek Theme Tools

This toolkit includes a file watcher, and a CLI for the Themes API.

Watcher

This tool watches a theme's folder for changes, and updates the remote theme. If it detects a change, then it will take the right action with that file: updating templates, blocks, regular files, pages, or theme.json.
