In order to improve work efficiency with Shopify Cli, Aloteam has built a small tool based on Ruby. Today I will guide you to install and use it.

1. Install:

Step 2: Download our toolkit on the following git link: https://github.com/magepow/shopify-tool and put the downloaded folder in the folder you want to put.

Step 3: In the folder you downloaded above, duplicate the aloshopify.rb file, paste the file as a shortcut, and rename it aloshopify.

Go to the search section of your computer > Search for the keyword edit the system environment variables

Click on Environment variables
