login

When you login using the CLI a record of the login is saved. Eventually your token will expire requiring re-authentication. The default login is for all production instances of salesforce.com. Two predefined non-production instances are available using the test and pre aliases. You can set an arbitrary instance to log in to by specifying the instance url in the form of subdomain.domain. For example login-blitz.soma.salesforce.com.

  force login               # log in to production or developer org
  force login -i=test           # log in to sandbox org
  force login -i=pre            # log in to prerelease org
  force login -u=un -p=pw       # log in using SOAP
  force login -i=test -u=un -p=pw       # log in using SOAP to sandbox org
  force login -i=<instance> -u=un -p=pw     # internal only

logout

Logout will delete your authentication token and remove the saved record of that login.

  force logout -u=user@example.org

logins

Logins will list all the user names that you have used to authenticate with the instance URL associated with each one. The active login will be indicated behind the login name in red.

  force logins

active

Active without any arguments will display the currently acctive login that you are using. You can also supply a username argument that will set the active login to the one corresponding to the username argument. Note, just because you set a login as active, does not mean that the token is necessarily valid.

  force active
  force active dave@demo.1

whoami

Whoami will display detailed user information about the currently active logged in user. This is Force.com specific information.

  force whomai

sobject

Sobject command gives you access to creating and deleting schema objects. The list argument will list ALL of the objects, both standard and custom, in your org.

  force sobject list
  force sobject create <object> [<field>:<type>]...
  force sobject delete <object>

field

Field gives you the ability to create, list and delete the fields on an object. Fields need to be created one at a time. You can also set required and optional attributes for the type of field. All defaultable field attributes will be defaulted based on the defaults in the web UI.

  force field list Todo__c
  force field create Todo__c Due:DateTime required:true
  force field delete Todo__c Due

push

Push gives you the ability to push specified resources to force.com. The resource will be pulled from ./src/{type}/

  force push -t(ype) StaticReource -n(ame) MyResource.resource
  force -type ApexClass -name MyClass.cls
  force -t ApexPage -n MyPage.page

You can also push all of a specific type of resource from a given folder.

  force push -t StaticResource -p(ath) src/staticresources/
  force push -t ApexClass -path src/classes/
  force push -t ApexPage -p src/pages/

limits

Limits will display limits information for your organization.

• Max is the limit total for the organization
• Remaining is the total number of calls or events left for the organization

The list is limited to those exposed by the REST API.
