Remote Bindings

When attempting to carry-out a sync operation, discrepancies can arise between remote and your local versions. These mismatches often occur due to changes made through the Theme Customizer, which modifies .json files in your theme, or other customizations within the store and in situations where a local version is not aligned, this can result in unexpected overwrites ocurring.

To address this, Remote Bindings help maintain alignment between local and remote theme and store-related files. If a remote theme resource is newer or differs from your local version, Syncify will prompt you before proceeding with any overwrites when performing sync operations to ensure changes are managed carefully.

Usage

There are a couple of different methods you can leverage to achieve alignment with remote versions. We can execute remote binding operations pre-emptively before we begin developing in watch mode or preparing to publish/sync to a store.

First, let’s look at how we’d carry out the remote binding operations in a controlled state using the --pull flag. This is typically going to be the safest approach to local alignment.
