Enable the Dev Hub in Your Org

Enable the Dev Hub in your org so you can create and manage scratch orgs from the command line and Lightning Experience. Scratch orgs are disposable Salesforce orgs to support development and testing.
Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Dev Hub available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions
Scratch orgs available in: Developer, Enterprise, Group, and Professional Editions

Enabling Dev Hub in a production or business org is completely safe and won’t cause any performance or customer issues. The Dev Hub is comprised of objects with permissions that allow admins to control the level of access available to a user and an org.

Note

  1. Log in to your production org (if you’re a customer), your business org (if you’re an ISV), or your trial org as the System Administrator.
  2. From Setup, enter Dev Hub in the Quick Find box and select Dev Hub.

    If you don't see Dev Hub in the Setup menu, make sure you're in your production or business org, and your org is one of the supported editions.

  3. To enable the Dev Hub, click Enable.
    After you enable the Dev Hub, you can’t disable it. If you're using a trial org, Dev Hub is already enabled.
