Something is up with the git sync

Short description of issue

Assets are not being synced to git by Shopify

Link to Shopify Store

Reproduction steps

Edits made to any file in the theme code are being synced to our git repository as expected (has been working for years) EXCEPT assets (stopped working today). There are no errors in the files we’re testing with (at least nothing Shopify is reporting) and I’ve tried just adding e.g. a comment line at the top of the file to see if that updates - it does not.

Additional info

We have a nice workflow where we experiment with code changes on this test site, and when happy have a script that copies most of the codebase to all the branches in the git repository (our live sites each read their theme from their own branch), ignoring the site specific settings files etc. I thought at first there was a problem with our script that was ignoring the assets folder for some reason, but looking on github I see changes to anything in the assets folder are not being sent from shopify.

The AI assistant is also broken (as well as extremely irritating) in that it won’t connect me to a support advisor so I can report the bug through the proper channels. It’ll ask me if I want to talk to a human, then when I say yes, nothing happens.

Not to worry, it started working again, a few moments after the announcement of the next-gen dev platform - I’m guessing something was turned off while stuff was being migrated. Would have been nice to have been told!
