Many users appreciate that the app is free and find it essential for tracking changes in theme code, especially during theme upgrades. The tool is described as a game-changer, a mind-bogglingly awesome tool, and a must-have for Shopify developers. Users highlight its ability to show code changes clearly, compare versions efficiently, and make theme updates a breeze. Some users even suggest that the app's functionality should be integrated into Shopify as a standard feature. However, there are a few negative comments regarding the diffing algorithm being poor and the inability to undo individual changes easily.

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.
Excellent app that will save you loads of time, and its FREE so win win. Very easy to install and use A++++++
Eine der Apps die jeder Shopify Entwickler installiert haben sollte.
