sfdx: Pull source metadata from an Organization.
$ sfdx force:source:pull --targetusername ${organization}
try on your machine
This command is used in Salesforce DX (SFDX) and is used to retrieve the metadata components from a Salesforce org (source org) and pull them into a local project directory on your machine.
Let's break down the command:
sfdx
: refers to the Salesforce CLI (Command-Line Interface) tool.force:source:pull
: is the specific command executed in the CLI to pull source code from a Salesforce org. This command retrieves the metadata components defined in the package.xml file present in the project directory.--targetusername
: is an option used to specify the target Salesforce org (from which the metadata should be pulled). It requires the username or alias of the Salesforce org.${organization}
: is a placeholder used to represent the username or alias of the Salesforce org you want to pull the metadata from. You should replace${organization}
with the actual username or org alias.
For example, if your org's username is "myorg@example.com", the command would be:
sfdx force:source:pull --targetusername myorg@example.com
This command initiates the process of pulling the metadata components from the specified org and updates the local project directory with the retrieved metadata.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
