  {% for img in item.product.images %}
    {% if found == false and item.variant.title contains img.alt %}
      <img src="{{ img | product_img_url: 'thumb' }}"  alt="{{ item.alt | escape }}" />
      {% assign found = true %}

This snippet can replace the product thumbnail image in cart.liquid

Hey Brad,
New to all this coding, but have a good understanding. Are we just adding this code to the cart.liquid? or are we removing some code and replacing it with this? Your help would be amazing. Thank you!
