Adobe Exam AD0-E720 Topic 6 Question 8 Discussion

The bin/magento dev:source-theme:deploy command is used to create symlinks for frontend theme files during development. This command allows the developer to modify source files without running static content deployment every time. The developer can use parameters to specify the type, locale, theme, and file names for creating symlinks. For example, to create symlinks for a CSS file named styles-l.css for the Vendor/Orange theme and the en_US locale, the developer can use:

bin/magento dev:source-theme:deploy --type=less --locale=en_US --theme=Vendor/Orange css/styles-l

The other two options are incorrect because they do not create symlinks for frontend theme files. The bin/magento dev:theme:deploy command is used to register themes with Magento and clear caches. The bin/magento deploy:mode:set command is used to change the application mode. Reference:Adobe Commerce Developer Documentation,Adobe Inc.
