Overview
CLI Tool to generate Salesforce.com package.xml (and destructiveChange.xml) files based on git diff between two branches. Designed to work with SFDX via Visual Studio Code
Please check your package before deploying as this script is still in development
Install
npm install -g sfdx-packager
Usage
$ sfdxpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch ./deploy/
This will create a package at ./deploy/sourceBranch/unpackaged/package.xml copying all files into directory.
If any deletes occurred will also create ./deploy/sourceBranch/destructive/destructiveChanges.xml
You can force a specific version for the package.xml with the -p flag
sfdxpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch -p 42 ./deploy/
You can also just write the package.xml and destructiveChanges.xml by passing the -d flag
sfdxpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch -d > ~/Desktop/packageAndDestructiveChanges.xml
You can also create "backout" content by reversing the order of the destination and source branches
sfdxpackage sourceBranch destinationBranch ./deploy/
