DESCRIPTION
Convert metadata retrieved via Metadata API into the source format used in Salesforce DX projects.
To use Salesforce CLI to work with components that you retrieved via Metadata API, first convert your files from the
metadata format to the source format using this command.
To convert files from the source format back to the metadata format, run "sf project convert source".
To convert multiple metadata components, either set multiple --metadata <name> flags or a single --metadata flag with
multiple names separated by spaces. Enclose names that contain spaces in one set of double quotes. The same syntax
applies to --source-dir.
ALIASES
$ sf force mdapi convert
EXAMPLES
Convert metadata formatted files in the specified directory into source formatted files; writes converted files to
your default package directory:
$ sf project convert mdapi --root-dir path/to/metadata
Similar to previous example, but writes converted files to the specified output directory:
$ sf project convert mdapi --root-dir path/to/metadata --output-dir path/to/outputdir
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-p, --metadata-dir=<value>... Root of directory or zip file of metadata formatted files to convert.
The supplied paths can be to a single file (in which case the operation is applied to only one file) or to a folder

DESCRIPTION
Enable a behavior of your project source files, and then update your Salesforce DX project to implement the behavior.
Specifically, this command updates the "sourceBehaviorOption" option in the "sfdx-project.json" file and then converts
the associated local source files in your project as needed.
For example, run this command with the "--behavior decomposePermissionSetBeta" flag to start decomposing permission
sets when you deploy or retrieve them. Decomposing means breaking up the monolithic metadata API format XML file that
corresponds to a metadata component into smaller XML files and directories based on its subtypes. Permission sets are
not decomposed by default; you must opt-in to start decomposing them by using this command. When the command finishes,
your "sfdx-project.json" file is updated to always decompose permission sets, and the existing permission set files in
your local package directories are converted into the new decomposed format. You run this command only once for a
given behavior change.
For more information about the possible values for the --behavior flag, see the "sourceBehaviorOptions" section in the
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_ws_config.htm topic.
EXAMPLES
Update your Salesforce DX project to decompose custom permission sets:
$ sf project convert source-behavior --behavior decomposePermissionSetBeta
Display what the command would do, but don't change any existing files:
$ sf project convert source-behavior --behavior decomposePermissionSetBeta --dry-run
Keep the temporary directory that contains the interim metadata API formatted files:
$ sf project convert source-behavior --behavior decomposePermissionSetBeta --dry-run --preserve-temp-dir

DESCRIPTION
Delete source from your project and from a non-source-tracked org.
Use this command to delete components from orgs that don’t have source tracking. To remove deleted items from orgs
that have source tracking enabled, "sf project deploy start".
When you run this command, both the local source file and the metadata component in the org are deleted.
To delete multiple metadata components, either set multiple --metadata <name> flags or a single --metadata flag with
multiple names separated by spaces. Enclose names that contain spaces in one set of double quotes. The same syntax
applies to --source-dir.
ALIASES
$ sf force source delete
EXAMPLES
Delete all local Apex source files and all Apex classes from the org with alias "my-scratch":
$ sf project delete source --metadata ApexClass --target-org my-scratch
Delete a specific Apex class and a Profile that has a space in it from your default org; don't prompt for
confirmation:
$ sf project delete source --metadata ApexClass:MyFabulousApexClass --metadata "Profile: My Profile" --no-prompt
Run the tests that aren’t in any managed packages as part of the deletion; if the delete succeeds, and the org has
source-tracking enabled, update the source tracking information:
$ sf project delete source --metadata ApexClass --test-level RunLocalTests --track-source
Delete the Apex source files in a directory and the corresponding components from your default org:
$ sf project delete source --source-dir force-app/main/default/classes
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-c, --check-only Validate delete command but don't delete anything from the org or the local project.
IMPORTANT: Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality. We maintained
certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations.
Validates the deleted metadata and runs all Apex tests, but prevents the deletion from being saved to the org.
If you change a field type from Master-Detail to Lookup or vice versa, that change isn’t supported when using the
--check-only flag to test a deletion (validation). This kind of change isn’t supported for test deletions to avoid
the risk of data loss or corruption. If a change that isn’t supported for test deletions is included in a deletion
package, the test deletion fails and issues an error.
If your deletion package changes a field type from Master-Detail to Lookup or vice versa, you can still validate the
changes prior to deploying to Production by performing a full deletion to another test Sandbox. A full deletion
includes a validation of the changes as part of the deletion process.
Note: A Metadata API deletion that includes Master-Detail relationships deletes all detail records in the Recycle
Bin in the following cases.
1. For a deletion with a new Master-Detail field, soft delete (send to the Recycle Bin) all detail records before
proceeding to delete the Master-Detail field, or the deletion fails. During the deletion, detail records are
permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin and cannot be recovered.
2. For a deletion that converts a Lookup field relationship to a Master-Detail relationship, detail records must
reference a master record or be soft-deleted (sent to the Recycle Bin) for the deletion to succeed. However, a
successful deletion permanently deletes any detail records in the Recycle Bin.
-l, --test-level=NoTestRun|RunSpecifiedTests|RunLocalTests|RunAllTestsInOrg Deployment Apex testing level.
Valid values are:
- NoTestRun — No tests are run. This test level applies only to deployments to development environments, such as
sandbox, Developer Edition, or trial orgs. This test level is the default for development environments.
- RunSpecifiedTests — Runs only the tests that you specify with the --tests flag. Code coverage requirements differ
from the default coverage requirements when using this test level. Executed tests must comprise a minimum of 75%
code coverage for each class and trigger in the deployment package. This coverage is computed for each class and
trigger individually and is different than the overall coverage percentage.
- RunLocalTests — All tests in your org are run, except the ones that originate from installed managed and unlocked
packages. This test level is the default for production deployments that include Apex classes or triggers.
- RunAllTestsInOrg — All tests in your org are run, including tests of managed packages.
If you don’t specify a test level, the default behavior depends on the contents of your deployment package and
target org. For more information, see “Running Tests in a Deployment” in the Metadata API Developer Guide.
-m, --metadata=<value>... Metadata components to delete.
If you specify this flag, don’t specify --source-dir.
-p, --source-dir=<value>... Source file paths to delete.
The supplied paths can be a single file (in which case the operation is applied to only one file) or a folder (in
which case the operation is applied to all metadata types in the directory and its sub-directories).
If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata.
-w, --wait=<value> Number of minutes to wait for the command to finish.
If the command continues to run after the wait period, the CLI returns control of the terminal window to you.
--tests=<value>... Apex tests to run when --test-level is RunSpecifiedTests.
If a test name contains a space, enclose it in double quotes.
For multiple test names, use one of the following formats:
- Repeat the flag for multiple test names: --tests Test1 --tests Test2 --tests "Test With Space"
- Separate the test names with spaces: --tests Test1 Test2 "Test With Space"

DESCRIPTION
Cancel a deploy operation.
Use this command to cancel a deploy operation that hasn't yet completed in the org. Deploy operations include standard
deploys, quick deploys, deploy validations, and deploy cancellations.
Run this command by either passing it a job ID or specifying the --use-most-recent flag to use the job ID of the most
recent deploy operation.
ALIASES
$ sf deploy metadata cancel
EXAMPLES
Cancel a deploy operation using a job ID:
$ sf project deploy cancel --job-id 0Af0x000017yLUFCA2
Cancel the most recent deploy operation:
$ sf project deploy cancel --use-most-recent
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-i, --job-id=<value> Job ID of the deploy operation you want to cancel.
These commands return a job ID if they time out or you specified the --async flag:
- sf project deploy start
- sf project deploy validate
- sf project deploy quick
- sf project deploy cancel
The job ID is valid for 10 days from when you started the deploy operation.
-r, --use-most-recent Use the job ID of the most recent deploy operation.
For performance reasons, this flag uses job IDs for deploy operations that started only in the past 3 days or less.
If your most recent deploy operations was more than 3 days ago, this flag won't find a job ID.
-w, --wait=<minutes> Number of minutes to wait for the command to complete and display results.
If the command continues to run after the wait period, the CLI returns control of the terminal window to you. To
resume watching the cancellation, run "sf project deploy resume". To check the status of the cancellation, run "sf
project deploy report".
--async Run the command asynchronously.
The command immediately returns the control of the terminal to you. This way, you can continue to use the CLI. To
resume watching the cancellation, run "sf project deploy resume". To check the status of the cancellation, run "sf
project deploy report".

--concise Show only the changes that will be deployed; omits files that are forceignored.
GLOBAL FLAGS
--flags-dir=<value> Import flag values from a directory.
--json Format output as json.
DESCRIPTION
Preview a deployment to see what will deploy to the org, the potential conflicts, and the ignored files.
You must run this command from within a project.
The command outputs a table that describes what will happen if you run the "sf project deploy start" command. The
table lists the metadata components that will be deployed and deleted. The table also lists the current conflicts
between files in your local project and components in the org. Finally, the table lists the files that won't be
deployed because they're included in your .forceignore file.
If your org allows source tracking, then this command displays potential conflicts between the org and your local
project. Some orgs, such as production org, never allow source tracking. Source tracking is enabled by default on
scratch and sandbox orgs; you can disable source tracking when you create the orgs by specifying the --no-track-source
flag on the "sf org create scratch|sandbox" commands.
To preview the deployment of multiple metadata components, either set multiple --metadata <name> flags or a single
--metadata flag with multiple names separated by spaces. Enclose names that contain spaces in one set of double
quotes. The same syntax applies to --source-dir.
ALIASES
$ sf deploy metadata preview
EXAMPLES
NOTE: The commands to preview a deployment and actually deploy it use similar flags. We provide a few preview examples here, but see the help for "sf project deploy start" for more examples that you can adapt for previewing.
Preview the deployment of source files in a directory, such as force-app, to your default org:
$ sf project deploy preview --source-dir force-app
Preview the deployment of all Apex classes to an org with alias "my-scratch":
$ sf project deploy preview --metadata ApexClass --target-org my-scratch
Preview deployment of a specific Apex class:
$ sf project deploy preview --metadata ApexClass:MyApexClass
Preview deployment of all components listed in a manifest:
$ sf project deploy preview --manifest path/to/package.xml
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-c, --ignore-conflicts Don't display conflicts in preview of the deployment.
This flag applies only to orgs that allow source tracking. It has no effect on orgs that don't allow it, such as
production orgs.
-d, --source-dir=<value>... Path to the local source files to preview.
The supplied path can be to a single file (in which case the operation is applied to only one file) or to a folder
(in which case the operation is applied to all metadata types in the directory and its subdirectories).
If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata or --manifest.
-x, --manifest=<value> Full file path for manifest (package.xml) of components to preview.
All child components are included. If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata or --source-dir.

[-o <value>] [-r] [-a <value>]
FLAGS
-a, --api-version=<value> Target API version for the deploy.
-i, --job-id=<value> Job ID of the deployment you want to quick deploy.
-o, --target-org=<value> Username or alias of the target org.
-r, --use-most-recent Use the job ID of the most recently validated deployment.
-w, --wait=<minutes> [default: 33 minutes] Number of minutes to wait for the command to complete and display
results.
--async Run the command asynchronously.
--concise Show concise output of the deploy result.
--verbose Show verbose output of the deploy result.
GLOBAL FLAGS
--flags-dir=<value> Import flag values from a directory.
--json Format output as json.
DESCRIPTION
Quickly deploy a validated deployment to an org.
Before you run this command, first create a validated deployment with the "sf project deploy validate" command, which
returns a job ID. Validated deployments haven't been deployed to the org yet; you deploy them with this command.
Either pass the job ID to this command or use the --use-most-recent flag to use the job ID of the most recently
validated deployment. For the quick deploy to succeed, the associated validated deployment must also have succeeded.
Executing this quick deploy command takes less time than a standard deploy because it skips running Apex tests. These
tests were previously run as part of the validation. Validating first and then running a quick deploy is useful if the
deployment to your production org take several hours and you don’t want to risk a failed deploy.
This command doesn't support source-tracking. The source you deploy overwrites the corresponding metadata in your org.
This command doesn’t attempt to merge your source with the versions in your org.
Note: Don't use this command on sandboxes; the command is intended to be used on production orgs. By default,
sandboxes don't run tests during a deploy. Use "sf project deploy start" instead.
ALIASES
$ sf deploy metadata quick
EXAMPLES
Run a quick deploy to your default org using a job ID:

$ sf project deploy quick --async --use-most-recent --target-org my-prod-org
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-a, --api-version=<value> Target API version for the deploy.
Use this flag to override the default API version with the API version of your package.xml file. The default API

The job ID is valid for 10 days from when you started the validation.
-r, --use-most-recent Use the job ID of the most recently validated deployment.
For performance reasons, this flag uses only job IDs that were validated in the past 3 days or less. If your most
recent deployment validation was more than 3 days ago, this flag won't find a job ID.
-w, --wait=<minutes> Number of minutes to wait for the command to complete and display results.

DESCRIPTION
Check or poll for the status of a deploy operation.
Deploy operations include standard deploys, quick deploys, deploy validations, and deploy cancellations.
Run this command by either passing it a job ID or specifying the --use-most-recent flag to use the job ID of the most
recent deploy operation. If you specify the --wait flag, the command polls for the status every second until the
timeout of --wait minutes. If you don't specify the --wait flag, the command simply checks and displays the status of
the deploy; the command doesn't poll for the status.
You typically don't specify the --target-org flag because the cached job already references the org to which you
deployed. But if you run this command on a computer different than the one from which you deployed, then you must
specify the --target-org and it must point to the same org.
This command doesn't update source tracking information.

DESCRIPTION
Resume watching a deploy operation and update source tracking when the deploy completes.
Use this command to resume watching a deploy operation if the original command times out or you specified the --async
flag. Deploy operations include standard deploys, quick deploys, deploy validations, and deploy cancellations. This
command doesn't resume the original operation itself, because the operation always continues after you've started it,
regardless of whether you're watching it or not. When the deploy completes, source tracking information is updated as
needed.
Run this command by either passing it a job ID or specifying the --use-most-recent flag to use the job ID of the most
recent deploy operation.
ALIASES
$ sf deploy metadata resume
EXAMPLES
Resume watching a deploy operation using a job ID:
$ sf project deploy resume --job-id 0Af0x000017yLUFCA2
Resume watching the most recent deploy operation:
$ sf project deploy resume --use-most-recent
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-i, --job-id=<value> Job ID of the deploy operation you want to resume.
These commands return a job ID if they time out or you specified the --async flag:
- sf project deploy start
- sf project deploy validate
- sf project deploy quick
- sf project deploy cancel
The job ID is valid for 10 days from when you started the deploy operation.
-r, --use-most-recent Use the job ID of the most recent deploy operation.
For performance reasons, this flag uses job IDs for deploy operations that started only in the past 3 days or less.
If your most recent operation was more than 3 days ago, this flag won't find a job ID.
-w, --wait=<minutes> Number of minutes to wait for the command to complete and display results.
If the command continues to run after the wait period, the CLI returns control of the terminal window to you. To
resume watching the deploy operation, run this command again. To check the status of the deploy operation, run "sf
project deploy report".

DESCRIPTION
Deploy metadata to an org from your local project.
You must run this command from within a project.
Metadata components are deployed in source format by default. Deploy them in metadata format by specifying the
--metadata-dir flag, which specifies the root directory or ZIP file that contains the metadata formatted files you
want to deploy.
If your org allows source tracking, then this command tracks the changes in your source. Some orgs, such as production
orgs, never allow source tracking. Source tracking is enabled by default on scratch and sandbox orgs; you can disable
source tracking when you create the orgs by specifying the --no-track-source flag on the "sf org create
scratch|sandbox" commands.
To deploy multiple metadata components, either set multiple --metadata <name> flags or a single --metadata flag with
multiple names separated by spaces. Enclose names that contain spaces in one set of double quotes. The same syntax
applies to --source-dir.
ALIASES
$ sf deploy metadata
EXAMPLES
Deploy local changes not in the org; uses your default org:
$ sf project deploy start
Deploy all source files in the "force-app" directory to an org with alias "my-scratch"; show only concise output, in
other words don't print a list of all the source that was deployed:
$ sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app --target-org my-scratch --concise
Deploy all the Apex classes and custom objects that are in the "force-app" directory. The list views, layouts, etc,
that are associated with the custom objects are also deployed. Both examples are equivalent:
$ sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app/main/default/classes force-app/main/default/objects
$ sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app/main/default/classes --source-dir \
force-app/main/default/objects
Deploy all Apex classes that are in all package directories defined in the "sfdx-project.json" file:
$ sf project deploy start --metadata ApexClass
Deploy a specific Apex class; ignore any conflicts between the local project and org (be careful with this flag,
because it will overwrite the Apex class in the org if there are conflicts!):
$ sf project deploy start --metadata ApexClass:MyApexClass --ignore-conflicts
Deploy specific Apex classes that match a pattern; in this example, deploy Apex classes whose names contain the
string "MyApex". Also ignore any deployment warnings (again, be careful with this flag! You typically want to see
the warnings):
$ sf project deploy start --metadata 'ApexClass:MyApex*' --ignore-warnings
Deploy a custom object called ExcitingObject that's in the SBQQ namespace:
$ sf project deploy start --metadata CustomObject:SBQQ__ExcitingObject
Deploy all custom objects in the SBQQ namespace by using a wildcard and quotes:
$ sf project deploy start --metadata 'CustomObject:SBQQ__*'
Deploy all custom objects and Apex classes found in all defined package directories (both examples are equivalent):
$ sf project deploy start --metadata CustomObject ApexClass
$ sf project deploy start --metadata CustomObject --metadata ApexClass
Deploy all Apex classes and a profile that has a space in its name:
$ sf project deploy start --metadata ApexClass --metadata "Profile:My Profile"
Deploy all components listed in a manifest:
$ sf project deploy start --manifest path/to/package.xml
Run the tests that aren’t in any managed packages as part of a deployment:
$ sf project deploy start --metadata ApexClass --test-level RunLocalTests
Deploy all metadata formatted files in the "MDAPI" directory:
$ sf project deploy start --metadata-dir MDAPI
Deploy all metadata formatted files in the "MDAPI" directory; items listed in the MDAPI/destructiveChangesPre.xml
and MDAPI/destructiveChangesPost.xml manifests are immediately eligible for deletion rather than stored in the
Recycle Bin:
$ sf project deploy start --metadata-dir MDAPI --purge-on-delete
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-a, --api-version=<value> Target API version for the deploy.
Use this flag to override the default API version with the API version of your package.xml file. The default API
version is the latest version supported by the CLI.
-c, --ignore-conflicts Ignore conflicts and deploy local files, even if they overwrite changes in the org.
This flag applies only to orgs that allow source tracking. It has no effect on orgs that don't allow it, such as
production orgs.
-d, --source-dir=<value>... Path to the local source files to deploy.
The supplied path can be to a single file (in which case the operation is applied to only one file) or to a folder
(in which case the operation is applied to all metadata types in the directory and its subdirectories).
If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata or --manifest.
-g, --ignore-warnings Ignore warnings and allow a deployment to complete successfully.
If you specify this flag, and a warning occurs, the success status of the deployment is set to true. If you don't
specify this flag, and a warning occurs, then the success status is set to false, and the warning is treated like an
error.
This flag is useful in a CI environment and your deployment includes destructive changes; if you try to delete a
component that doesn't exist in the org, you get a warning. In this case, to ensure that the command returns a
success value of true, specify this flag.
-l, --test-level=NoTestRun|RunSpecifiedTests|RunLocalTests|RunAllTestsInOrg Deployment Apex testing level.
Valid values are:
- NoTestRun — No tests are run. This test level applies only to deployments to development environments, such as
sandbox, Developer Edition, or trial orgs. This test level is the default for development environments.
- RunSpecifiedTests — Runs only the tests that you specify with the --tests flag. Code coverage requirements differ
from the default coverage requirements when using this test level. Executed tests must comprise a minimum of 75%
code coverage for each class and trigger in the deployment package. This coverage is computed for each class and
trigger individually and is different than the overall coverage percentage.
- RunLocalTests — All tests in your org are run, except the ones that originate from installed managed and unlocked
packages. This test level is the default for production deployments that include Apex classes or triggers.
- RunAllTestsInOrg — All tests in your org are run, including tests of managed packages.
If you don’t specify a test level, the default behavior depends on the contents of your deployment package and
target org. For more information, see [Running Tests in a
Deployment](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_deploy_running_tests.htm)
in the "Metadata API Developer Guide".
-r, --ignore-errors Ignore any errors and don’t roll back deployment.
Never use this flag when deploying to a production org. If you specify it, components without errors are deployed
and components with errors are skipped, and could result in an inconsistent production org.
-t, --tests=<value>... Apex tests to run when --test-level is RunSpecifiedTests.
If a test name contains a space, enclose it in double quotes.
For multiple test names, use one of the following formats:
- Repeat the flag for multiple test names: --tests Test1 --tests Test2 --tests "Test With Space"
- Separate the test names with spaces: --tests Test1 Test2 "Test With Space"
-w, --wait=<minutes> Number of minutes to wait for command to complete and display results.
If the command continues to run after the wait period, the CLI returns control of the terminal window to you and
returns the job ID. To resume the deployment, run "sf project deploy resume". To check the status of the deployment,
run "sf project deploy report".
-x, --manifest=<value> Full file path for manifest (package.xml) of components to deploy.
All child components are included. If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata or --source-dir.
--async Run the command asynchronously.
The command immediately returns the job ID and control of the terminal to you. This way, you can continue to use the
CLI. To resume the deployment, run "sf project deploy resume". To check the status of the deployment, run "sf
project deploy report".

DESCRIPTION
Validate a metadata deployment without actually executing it.
Use this command to verify whether a deployment will succeed without actually deploying the metadata to your org. This
command is similar to "sf project deploy start", except you're required to run Apex tests, and the command returns a
job ID rather than executing the deployment. If the validation succeeds, then you pass this job ID to the "sf project
deploy quick" command to actually deploy the metadata. This quick deploy takes less time because it skips running Apex
tests. The job ID is valid for 10 days from when you started the validation. Validating first is useful if the
deployment to your production org take several hours and you don’t want to risk a failed deploy.
You must run this command from within a project.
This command doesn't support source-tracking. When you quick deploy with the resulting job ID, the source you deploy
overwrites the corresponding metadata in your org.
To validate the deployment of multiple metadata components, either set multiple --metadata <name> flags or a single
--metadata flag with multiple names separated by spaces. Enclose names that contain spaces in one set of double
quotes. The same syntax applies to --source-dir.
Note: Don't use this command on sandboxes; the command is intended to be used on production orgs. By default,
sandboxes don't run tests during a deploy. If you want to validate a deployment with tests on a sandbox, use "sf
project deploy start --dry-run --test-level RunLocalTests" instead.
ALIASES
$ sf deploy metadata validate
EXAMPLES
NOTE: These examples focus on validating large deployments. See the help for "sf project deploy start" for examples of deploying smaller sets of metadata which you can also use to validate.
Validate the deployment of all source files in the "force-app" directory to the default org:
$ sf project deploy validate --source-dir force-app
Validate the deployment of all source files in two directories: "force-app" and "force-app-utils":
$ sf project deploy validate --source-dir force-app --source-dir force-app-utils
Asynchronously validate the deployment and run all tests in the org with alias "my-prod-org"; command immediately
returns the job ID:
$ sf project deploy validate --source-dir force-app --async --test-level RunAllTestsInOrg --target-org \
my-prod-org
Validate the deployment of all components listed in a manifest:
$ sf project deploy validate --manifest path/to/package.xml

--json Format output as json.
DESCRIPTION
Create a project manifest that lists the metadata components you want to deploy or retrieve.
Create a manifest from a list of metadata components (--metadata) or from one or more local directories that contain
source files (--source-dir). You can specify either of these flags, not both.
Use --type to specify the type of manifest you want to create. The resulting manifest files have specific names, such
as the standard package.xml or destructiveChanges.xml to delete metadata. Valid values for this flag, and their
respective file names, are:
* package : package.xml (default)
* pre : destructiveChangesPre.xml
* post : destructiveChangesPost.xml
* destroy : destructiveChanges.xml
See https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_deploy_deleting_files.htm for
information about these destructive manifest files.
Use --name to specify a custom name for the generated manifest if the pre-defined ones don’t suit your needs. You can
specify either --type or --name, but not both.
To include multiple metadata components, either set multiple --metadata <name> flags or a single --metadata flag with
multiple names separated by spaces. Enclose names that contain spaces in one set of double quotes. The same syntax
applies to --include-packages and --source-dir.
ALIASES
$ sf force source manifest create
EXAMPLES
Create a manifest for deploying or retrieving all Apex classes and custom objects:
$ sf project generate manifest --metadata ApexClass --metadata CustomObject
Create a manifest for deleting the specified Apex class:
$ sf project generate manifest --metadata ApexClass:MyApexClass --type destroy
Create a manifest for deploying or retrieving all the metadata components in the specified local directory; name the
file myNewManifest.xml:
$ sf project generate manifest --source-dir force-app --name myNewManifest
Create a manifest from the metadata components in the specified org and include metadata in any unlocked packages:
$ sf project generate manifest --from-org test@myorg.com --include-packages unlocked
See code: src/commands/project/generate/manifest.ts
Check your local project package directories for forceignored files.
USAGE
$ sf project list ignored [--json] [--flags-dir <value>] [-p <value>]
FLAGS
-p, --source-dir=<value> File or directory of files that the command checks for foreceignored files.
GLOBAL FLAGS
--flags-dir=<value> Import flag values from a directory.
--json Format output as json.
DESCRIPTION
Check your local project package directories for forceignored files.
When deploying or retrieving metadata between your local project and an org, you can specify the source files you want
to exclude with a .forceignore file. The .forceignore file structure mimics the .gitignore structure. Each line in
.forceignore specifies a pattern that corresponds to one or more files. The files typically represent metadata
components, but can be any files you want to exclude, such as LWC configuration JSON files or tests.
ALIASES
$ sf force source ignored list
EXAMPLES
List all the files in all package directories that are ignored:
$ sf project list ignored
List all the files in a specific directory that are ignored:
$ sf project list ignored --source-dir force-app
Check if a particular file is ignored:
$ sf project list ignored --source-dir package.xml

Reset local and remote source tracking.
USAGE
$ sf project reset tracking -o <value> [--json] [--flags-dir <value>] [--api-version <value>] [-r <value>] [-p]
FLAGS
-o, --target-org=<value> (required) Username or alias of the target org. Not required if the `target-org`
configuration variable is already set.
-p, --no-prompt Don't prompt for source tracking override confirmation.
-r, --revision=<value> SourceMember revision counter number to reset to.
--api-version=<value> Override the api version used for api requests made by this command
GLOBAL FLAGS
--flags-dir=<value> Import flag values from a directory.
--json Format output as json.
DESCRIPTION
Reset local and remote source tracking.
WARNING: This command deletes or overwrites all existing source tracking files. Use with extreme caution.
Resets local and remote source tracking so that Salesforce CLI no longer registers differences between your local
files and those in the org. When you next run 'project deploy preview', Salesforce CLI returns no results, even though
conflicts might actually exist. Salesforce CLI then resumes tracking new source changes as usual.
Use the --revision flag to reset source tracking to a specific revision number of an org source member. To get the
revision number, query the SourceMember Tooling API object with the 'data soql' command. For example:
sf data query --query "SELECT MemberName, MemberType, RevisionCounter FROM SourceMember" --use-tooling-api
--target-org my-scratch
ALIASES
$ sf force source tracking reset
EXAMPLES
Reset source tracking for the org with alias "my-scratch":
$ sf project reset tracking --target-org my-scratch
Reset source tracking to revision number 30 for your default org:
$ sf project reset tracking --revision 30
See code: src/commands/project/reset/tracking.ts
Preview a retrieval to see what will be retrieved from the org, the potential conflicts, and the ignored files.
USAGE

FLAGS
-c, --ignore-conflicts Don't display conflicts in the preview of the retrieval.
-o, --target-org=<value> (required) Username or alias of the target org. Not required if the `target-org`
configuration variable is already set.
--concise Show only the changes that will be retrieved; omits files that are forceignored.
GLOBAL FLAGS

--json Format output as json.
DESCRIPTION
Preview a retrieval to see what will be retrieved from the org, the potential conflicts, and the ignored files.
You must run this command from within a project.
The command outputs a table that describes what will happen if you run the "sf project retrieve start" command. The
table lists the metadata components that will be retrieved and deleted. The table also lists the current conflicts
between files in your local project and components in the org. Finally, the table lists the files that won't be
retrieved because they're included in your .forceignore file.
If your org allows source tracking, then this command displays potential conflicts between the org and your local
project. Some orgs, such as production org, never allow source tracking. Source tracking is enabled by default on
scratch and sandbox orgs; you can disable source tracking when you create the orgs by specifying the --no-track-source
flag on the "sf org create scratch|sandbox" commands.
ALIASES
$ sf retrieve metadata preview
EXAMPLES
Preview the retrieve of all changes from your default org:
$ sf project retrieve preview
Preview the retrieve when ignoring any conflicts from an org with alias "my-scratch":
$ sf project retrieve preview --ignore-conflicts --target-org my-scratch
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-c, --ignore-conflicts Don't display conflicts in the preview of the retrieval.
This flag applies only to orgs that allow source tracking. It has no effect on orgs that don't allow it, such as
production orgs.

DESCRIPTION
Retrieve metadata from an org to your local project.
You must run this command from within a project.
Metadata components are retrieved in source format by default. Retrieve them in metadata format by specifying the
--target-metadata-dir flag, which retrieves the components into a ZIP file in the specified directory.
If your org allows source tracking, then this command tracks the changes in your source. Some orgs, such as production
orgs, never allow source tracking. Source tracking is enabled by default on scratch and sandbox orgs; you can disable
source tracking when you create the orgs by specifying the --no-track-source flag on the "sf org create
scratch|sandbox" commands.
To retrieve multiple metadata components, either use multiple --metadata <name> flags or use a single --metadata flag
with multiple names separated by spaces. Enclose names that contain spaces in one set of double quotes. The same
syntax applies to --source-dir.
ALIASES
$ sf retrieve metadata
EXAMPLES
Retrieve all remote changes from your default org:
$ sf project retrieve start
Retrieve the source files in the "force-app" directory from an org with alias "my-scratch":
$ sf project retrieve start --source-dir force-app --target-org my-scratch
Retrieve all the Apex classes and custom objects whose source is in the "force-app" directory. The list views,
layouts, etc, that are associated with the custom objects are also retrieved. Both examples are equivalent:
$ sf project retrieve start --source-dir force-app/main/default/classes force-app/main/default/objects
$ sf project retrieve start --source-dir force-app/main/default/classes --source-dir \
force-app/main/default/objects
Retrieve all Apex classes that are in all package directories defined in the "sfdx-project.json" file:
$ sf project retrieve start --metadata ApexClass
Retrieve a specific Apex class; ignore any conflicts between the local project and org (be careful with this flag,
because it will overwrite the Apex class source files in your local project if there are conflicts!):
$ sf project retrieve start --metadata ApexClass:MyApexClass --ignore-conflicts
Retrieve specific Apex classes that match a pattern; in this example, retrieve Apex classes whose names contain the
string "MyApex":
$ sf project retrieve start --metadata 'ApexClass:MyApex*'
Retrieve a custom object called ExcitingObject that's in the SBQQ namespace:
$ sf project retrieve start --metadata CustomObject:SBQQ__ExcitingObject
Retrieve all custom objects in the SBQQ namespace by using a wildcard and quotes:
$ sf project retrieve start --metadata 'CustomObject:SBQQ__*'
Retrieve all custom objects and Apex classes found in all defined package directories (both examples are
equivalent):
$ sf project retrieve start --metadata CustomObject ApexClass
$ sf project retrieve start --metadata CustomObject --metadata ApexClass
Retrieve all metadata components listed in a manifest:
$ sf project retrieve start --manifest path/to/package.xml
Retrieve metadata from a package:
$ sf project retrieve start --package-name MyPackageName
Retrieve metadata from multiple packages, one of which has a space in its name (both examples are equivalent):
$ sf project retrieve start --package-name Package1 "PackageName With Spaces" Package3
$ sf project retrieve start --package-name Package1 --package-name "PackageName With Spaces" --package-name \
Package3
Retrieve the metadata components listed in the force-app directory, but retrieve them in metadata format into a ZIP
file in the "output" directory:
$ sf project retrieve start --source-dir force-app --target-metadata-dir output
Retrieve in metadata format and automatically extract the contents into the "output" directory:
$ sf project retrieve start --source-dir force-app --target-metadata-dir output --unzip
FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
-a, --api-version=<value> Target API version for the retrieve.
Use this flag to override the default API version, which is the latest version supported the CLI, with the API
version in your package.xml file.
-c, --ignore-conflicts
Ignore conflicts and retrieve and save files to your local filesystem, even if they overwrite your local changes.
This flag applies only to orgs that allow source tracking. It has no effect on orgs that don't allow it, such as
production orgs.
-d, --source-dir=<value>... File paths for source to retrieve from the org.
The supplied paths can be to a single file (in which case the operation is applied to only one file) or to a folder
(in which case the operation is applied to all source files in the directory and its subdirectories).
-n, --package-name=<value>...
Package names to retrieve. Use of this flag is for reference only; don't use it to retrieve packaged metadata for
development.
The metadata of the supplied package name(s) will be retrieved into a child directory of the project. The name of
that child directory matches the name of the package. The retrieved metadata is meant for your reference only, don't
add it to a source control system for development and deployment. For package development, retrieve the metadata
using a manifest (`--manifest` flag) or by targeting a source controlled package directory within your project
(`--source-dir` flag).
-r, --output-dir=<value> Directory root for the retrieved source files.
The root of the directory structure into which the source files are retrieved.
If the target directory matches one of the package directories in your sfdx-project.json file, the command fails.
Running the command multiple times with the same target adds new files and overwrites existing files.
-w, --wait=<value> Number of minutes to wait for the command to complete and display results to the terminal window.
If the command continues to run after the wait period, the CLI returns control of the terminal window to you.
-x, --manifest=<value> File path for the manifest (package.xml) that specifies the components to retrieve.
If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata or --source-dir.
