Installation

brew tap mvogelgesang/quick-org-creator

brew install quick-org-creator

Dependencies

• Salesforce CLI
• Git
• GitHub CLI (Optional)

Running

The first time oc is run, it will establish a configuration file that is used to supply the list of DevHub orgs, any namespaces, and set default values.

Create a new scratch org

oc

Creates a new scratch org and prompts user to identify which DevHub to use, folder location, and scratch definition file. Upon completion, the following are produced

• New Salesforce scratch org from desired DevHub with specified org definition
• New project directory with org set as default target
• Initialized Git repo and creation of corresponding private GitHub repo (if GitHub CLI is installed)

Refresh config and defaults

oc config

Allows you to set default values for:

• DevHub
• Project folder location
• Scratch Definition File

Refresh list of DevHub orgs

oc devhub

Saves a local list of DevHub orgs that have been authenticated via the CLI. If a devhub does not have an alias, it appears as blank in the list.

Refresh namespace list

oc namespace

Refreshes the list of namespaces associated with your default DevHub org.

Print commands

oc help

Prints all commands and brief descriptions of each.

Check version

oc --version

Prints the current version of Quick Org Creator.

Updating

brew update

brew upgrade quick-org-creator

Backlog

• A cleanup script to clear out old node_modules folders
• If a config value is missing, prompt for it
• Org picker based on authenticated dev hub orgs
• Directory picker based on folders available from run location

Delivered Features

✔️ Issue 3 - Check for repo updates ✔️ Include a readme file in each directory containing more details about the scratch org, why it was created, etc
