Use grunt: https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/running/#grunt-development

It will automatically rebuild what is necessary and restart when you make a change.

I executed your steps and did not report any errors after restarting, but I did not find any changes. I would like to ask, if the above operation is successful, what changes should I see?🙄
Is it possible to remove the ability to switch themes from the Admin CP?

That's probably the approach I'll take. I was just wondering if there was some inbuilt functionality, but it's not much work to do, so thanks. Have a nice day!
I need to re-order my plugins manually after every deployment, is there a way out?

What does your "deployment" entail? The plugin list is stored in the database, so you should be able to restore that key if you wish.

Made a child theme based on Persona for some edits. Instead of publishing it to npm symlinked it, theme folder being outside public_html( where nodebb install resides). How can I load a js file to use with it? If I put ./nodebb-theme-mytheme/lib/script.js" inside plugins.json doesn't work.

Thanks @julian. I've been using a similar method since the time in which I started this topic. Everything is working great for me now. I just needed some more time to become familiar with the LESS files. Thanks to all for replying!
