Once the theme is fully working and approved to go live, its recommended to clone the live theme before publishing the changes to live.
Once the live theme is backed up, we can upload the theme to the live theme, which is https://admin.shopify.com/store/lioncountry/themes/125244080189/editor the command would beshopify theme push --store= lioncountry.myshopify.com  --theme=125244080189after this is over, test the live theme to ensure everything is working.Delete the theme that was cloned when we started updating, to keep the list of themes clean. Keep the backup of the previous live theme, and add a date to it as a reference.If we run into any issue with the updated theme after a few days, having that backup is life saving, you can simply publish that backup, while you solve the issue with the updated theme. Once you solve the issue you can re-publish it live.
