You can export a theme, upload it to a repository, and install that.

All remote themes have a section at the top where you can decide if you want it to update automatically when Discourse is updated. Furthermore, there is a background job that checks if a more recent version is available, and you can check for new updates manually too. When a new version is available, the button offers to update the component.

You can also find that information in the guide about [Installing a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/installing-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682).

In case you haven’t already found it, there is also a tutorial about [theme development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/theme-developer-tutorial-2-creating-a-remote-theme/357797)
