How Do You Plan to Deploy Your Changes?

Do you want to deploy a set of changes, or create a self-contained application? Choose a development model.

You can also use the commands below to deploy metadata against any org.

Deploying a package

Use the command below to deploy a package.xml file and its contents:

sfdx force:source:deploy --manifest "./manifest/my-package.xml" --testlevel=RunSpecifiedTests --runtests=notests --loglevel fatal

Deploying a single component

Use the command below to deploy a single metadata file to an org from command line using Salesforce CLI.

To just validate a deployment add the --checkonly parameter to the command.

sfdx force:source:deploy --sourcepath "./force-app/main/default/flows/A_ProcessBuilder.flow-meta.xml" --testlevel=RunSpecifiedTests     --runtests=notests --loglevel fatal
