Deploy Folder
• Delete the existing
Deploy-sf folder
• Create an empty
Deploy-sf folder
Get Changes
• Run GIT Log to get
last two commits.
• Run GIT Diff to find
the files which
changed between
commit.
Iterate Files
• Copy the files to
Deploy-sf folder if it
is part of force-app
• Copy linked
meta.xml file also
