# org create shape

Create a scratch org configuration (shape) based on the specified source org.

## Description for org create shape

Scratch org shapes mimic the baseline setup (features, limits, edition, and Metadata API settings) of a source org without the extraneous data and metadata.

Run "sf org list shape" to view the available org shapes and their IDs.

To create a scratch org from an org shape, include the "sourceOrg" property in the scratch org definition file and set it to the org ID of the source org. Then create a scratch org with the "sf org create scratch" command.
