CLI & Tooling

CLI & Tooling is about the command-line and local development tooling Shopify developers use day to day — the Shopify CLI itself, editor and debugging tooling, and the developer-experience layer around building for the platform. It overlaps with, but isn’t the same axis as, the Tooling Updates section: this tag can apply to a CLI-related item in any section, not just release-tracking content.
