Also, if what you want to do is testing/development of the theme to later submit changes to github, you should check out [Install the Discourse Theme CLI console app to help you build themes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-the-discourse-theme-cli-console-app-to-help-you-build-themes/82950) and work on a copy of the theme there on the production site that only you or other admins can see.
