Reviews summary

The reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Users consistently praise the app for making Shopify theme upgrades, code comparisons, and change tracking much easier and faster. Many describe it as simple, easy to use, and a major time-saver, with several saying it should be built into Shopify itself. The fact that it is free is also highlighted as a major advantage, and some reviewers specifically appreciate features like identifying missing code files and helping teams manage theme changes more safely. The main negative feedback is limited but important: one reviewer says the diffing algorithm is poor, especially when code formatting changes from multi-line to single-line, which can throw off the rest of the file comparison. That same reviewer also notes a lack of granular undo controls, making it difficult to revert individual mistaken merges without discarding all changes and starting over. Overall, the app is seen as highly valuable and effective, but with room for improvement in diff accuracy and change-reversal workflow.

It does let you get an overview of what files have changed, but the diffing algorithm is very poor. If a block of code changes from multi-line to single line, it throws off the diff for the rest of the file. See what algorithm VS Code uses, and use that; they have excellent blog posts on diffing. I ended up exporting the themes and comparing in VS Code using the "Compare Folders" extension. I also cannot find a way to undo individual changes to files. If I accidentally merge a change to the wrong side, or merge the wrong change, I have to discard all changes and start again.
