Shopify - "branch isn't a valid theme"

Question

Anyone get a "branch isn't a valid theme" when trying to connect to a "main" repo? I tried doing this prior to starting the crawl and this happened. I decided to initiate the crawl anyways and check again but see liquify created a new repo option so I am waiting for it to finish.

Hi @Nick DeMore, that is when the branch is missing some important files. Can you send me the converted file?

Nick DeMore · Answer

would that be on git hub?

jonas.halbstark · Answer

you can share the branch or export the file in liquify. Should be the same

Nick DeMore · Answer

I don't have a paid workspace plan so I can't export code

okay. that could be the problem. You need a workspace or site plan to use the the crwaling feature. Otherwise webflow does not provide a sitemap which we can crawl.

As far as i can see is that the project structure is very diffrent to what we recommend. You should clone the Starter Template and use the structure we recommend. Shopify Themes need a clear structure

Nick DeMore · Answer

Nick DeMore · Answer

do I need to fill this out?

Thats already filled with Shopify objects. So these are variables.
