Export the activated theme including the user's changes.

Creates a new child theme with the currently active theme as a parent.

Creates a new theme by cloning the activated theme. The resulting theme will have all of the assets of the activated theme combined with the user's changes.
4. Overwrite theme files
Saves the user's changes to the theme files and deletes the user's changes from the site.
5. Generate blank theme
Generate a boilerplate "empty" theme inside of the current site's themes directory.
6. Create a style variation
Saves user's changes as a style variation of the currently active theme.
