Create Slate Theme

Start a new Slate project with a single command. Defaults to creating a fresh copy of Shopify/starter-theme:

Getting Started

To get started with a new project, run the following command in your terminal:

yarn create slate-theme my-new-theme

or if you prefer NPM

npm install -g create-slate-theme
create-slate-theme my-new-theme

Custom Starting Points

Instead of using shopify/starter-theme, you can optionally specify your own Github repo or local folder to copy as a starting point:

yarn create slate-theme my-new-theme shopify/skeleton-theme

or

yarn create slate-theme my-new-theme my-old-theme/

You can share your starting point with the community by publishing your own starter theme to Github. For example, I could publish my own starter theme in the t-kelly/custom-starter-theme repo and then start a new project with it by calling:

yarn create slate-theme my-new-theme t-kelly/custom-starter-theme

Options

--skipInstall

Skips installing theme dependencies which greatly speeds up overall setup time.
