# Online Store 2.0: Create and manage themes using Shopify CLI

Theme developers can now use Shopify CLI to build themes.

You can now do the following:

* Develop, preview, and test changes using development themes
* Hot-reload CSS and Liquid section changes as you’re developing
* Initialize a new theme project using our reference theme, [Dawn](https://shopify.dev/themes/tools/dawn), as a starting point
* Push and publish themes from the command line
* Lint your theme’s code using [Theme Check](https://shopify.dev/themes/tools/theme-check)
* Populate test data for your theme, including products, customers, and draft orders
