ThemeUploadError: You don't have a required scope to access the endpoint

[asantisan]

Expected behavior

run 'stencil push -a' to push theme updates and activate the theme.

Actual behavior

after 'zipping files finished' during the process I get this error:

not ok -- ThemeUploadError: You don't have a required scope to access the endpoint

Steps to reproduce behavior

This is related to your token. It does not have the correct permissions to modify themes on the store.

The easiest way to fix this is to generate a new token which has the appropriate permissions.

When you create a "Stencil-CLI token", make sure you select the permission level for "publish theme" to be able to upload new themes from the CLI.
