SHOPIFY CLI LANDS STORE INFO STACK, HYDROGEN PREVIEW RELEASES SHIP
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify
The CLI team merged a five-PR foundation for `shopify store info`, a new command that reads store metadata from Business Platform schemas, while Hydrogen's preview release pipeline is now live.
The store info work [1] is the headline on the CLI desk. Five PRs shipped bottom-up starting with a shared GID codec [2] that centralizes GraphQL ID decoding logic that was previously copy-pasted across the app and organizations modules. That feeds into URL helpers [3], a shared `--store` flag [1], then a typed GraphQL data-access layer [3] with codegen wiring and queries. The command itself [1] consumes all of it. This is infrastructure work that clears the path for store metadata queries across the CLI. On the Hydrogen desk, the preview branch release pipeline [4] is now production-ready, letting the team publish canary builds under the `preview` dist-tag from the `preview` branch with version strings like `0.0.0-preview-<sha>-<timestamp>`. This matches the existing `next` tag mechanism [5]. In parallel, the team fixed a flaky e2e test [6] that was asserting on an optional featured collection image instead of the collection heading, which was causing timeouts when the preview store's newest collection had no image.
