Manage Org Changes Using the Force.com Migration Tool and Git
2 likes2,119 views
Join us to learn how the Force.com Migration Tool is a powerful instrument for deploying code and configuring salesfoce.com. The Ant-based tool offers the ability to take a snapshot of your code and configuration, which you can then store in any source code management system such as Git. These snapshots can be used to restore, in part or in whole, your org to a previous state. In addition to recovery, if we stack these snapshots we can use them for forensic purposes to find when a Salesforce environment changed.
