Background

This project is meant to be helpful guide and starting point for Salesforce developers who want to automate their CI/CD process using GitHub Actions. It is not meant to be a complete solution for all Salesforce development teams.

Requirements

NodeJS 14.x is the minimum requirement for this project. More recent versions of NodeJS are still being tested. We are currently testing Node 18.x and have found issues with authentication against sandboxes using SFDX web auth flow. The setup scripts require MacOS to run locally, however is not required to make use of this template. The sandbox authentication script requires SFDX to be installed and configured and requires a bash environment.

These actions rely on several repository secrets and variables to be set in the repository settings. Please refer to the Required Configurations section of our getting started doc for more details.
