opencart how to work?

Question

JavaScript

Guys, please tell me, for example, the client has a site on OpenCart, you need to make changes to the html layout, how is the work going? Do you download the theme from the hosting to the client, and deploy it on your local server? Or how does it even happen?

Answer 1

Upload everything to yourself locally, the version must be the same as that of the client.
make edits
Upload back to the server

Answer 2

In general, development is going on locally, in a normal IDE in the full context of the application (for starters, for php, you can take netbeans or vscode for most tasks). And then there may already be small edits on the server. They torment ftp, somehow stupid and extremely inconvenient.
