Auto-save to child theme

    Hey!

    I have a feature idea to help people with website projects using version control or in general prefers to manage there theme styling using files.

    If a child theme is active, an option to activate a auto-save mode would be great. That way users can use the site editor and the file editor at the same time.

    Not sure if it should be a checkbox or a toggle between “DB-mode”/”file-mode” as a save target.

    This would also be helpful to work with multisites. For example for multilingual websites that share a design the admin can work on the styling and templates and automatically the changes apply to all languages.

    Also this would close the gap between people used to the classic way of managing themes via files and using block themes. Specially the html-templates with all the comments are very hard to do via code.

    Greetings

    This would help the amount of block themes out there.
    Many usecases outside of .com still relay on files.

    • Changes need to to into a PR for feedback/sign of.
    • Theme creators need to upload files to repos/shops.
    • Styling inside multisite should be shared between sites

    This looks like an interesting and potentially useful idea, thanks for sharing it ??
