Introducing D2X

D2X is an open source collection of tools and configurations to quickly launch and easily maintain Salesforce development projects on GitHub. D2X combines the best of CumulusCI, Salesforce CLI, GitHub Actions, and GitHub Codespaces. D2X projects are set up to align with the Salesforce Well-Architected principle of Adaptable (Resilient and Composable).

D2X is made up of:

• A Docker image with the latest versions of CumulusCI and SF CLI preinstalled

  • GitHub Package: https://github.com/muselab-d2x/d2x/pkgs/container/d2x
  • Latest Docker Image: ghcr.io/muselab-d2x/d2x:latest

• A set of reusable GitHub Actions workflows

• A devcontainer configuration for use with GitHub Codespaces or any IDE with a Devcontainers extension
• A project template using cookiecutter

D2X is a project of MuseLab and was created to support our consulting services with Salesforce partners and customers. We proudly share D2X as open source with the Salesforce community as part of our goal to revolutionize and democratize Salesforce DevOps.
