schema generate tab
Generate the metadata source files for a new custom tab on a custom object.
Custom tabs let you display custom object data or other web content in Salesforce. Custom tabs appear in Salesforce as an item in the app’s navigation bar and in the App Launcher.
This command must be run in a Salesforce DX project directory. You must pass all required information to it with the required flags. The source files for the custom object for which you’re generating a tab don’t need to exist in your local project.
