Develop an App with Salesforce CLI and Source Control

This is one of the best Project by Trailhead . There is a exhaustive lot you do but every minute you spend on this is worth a dime.

You create a Git Repository , a master branch, two feature branches and then merge them to master and finally deploy this master to a Trailhead playground. While you do this, you also create couple of scratch orgs to modify files. You will really see how everything connects. Go for it mate….experience the SFDX.

While deploying to one of the org, you will face an issue with admin profile. Just delete the admin profile from source code & move on…

Basics of working with unmanaged package – Big Picture!

May 21, 2020

Think of a package as a stand-alone application, or a collection of metadata items that you can release on its own without having to release all packages. Packaging metadata makes your deployment process succinct and easier to manage. Packages are organized in a variety of ways, such as by app, by shared library, or by feature. However you organize your metadata packages, it’s important to have the sfdx-project.json file set up correctly so you can create and release new versions of your package.
