Sample Repository on GitHub

If you want to check out Salesforce DX features quickly, start with the sfdx-simple GitHub repo. It contains an example of the project configuration file (sfdx-project.json), a simple Salesforce app, and Apex tests.

Cloning this repo creates the directory sfdx-simple. See the repo’s Readme for more information.

Assuming that you’ve already set up Git, use the git clone command to clone the master branch of the repo from the command line.

To use HTTPS:

1git clone https://github.com/forcedotcom/sfdx-simple.git

To use SSH:

1git clone git@github.com:forcedotcom/sfdx-simple.git

If you don’t want to use Git, download a .zip file of the repository’s source using Clone, or download on the GitHub website. Unpack the source anywhere on your local file system.

To check out more complex examples, see the Sample Gallery.

It contains sample apps that show what you can build on the Salesforce platform. They’re continuously updated to incorporate the latest features and best practices.
