Resolving the Source of Truth Conflict in 4 Clicks

Salesforce DX claims source control is the source of truth, but changes can still be made in production. Blue Canvas offers a solution to sync org and Git.

With this article, learn about the challenges of making source control the source of truth in Salesforce DX and how Blue Canvas can help solve this issue by automatically checking for changes in real time and committing them to a Git repo.

Here are our 5 Key Takeaways:

- Salesforce DX claims that source control is the source of truth, but it can be difficult to get all changes, including declarative or point and click changes, into source control.

- Many teams may not have adequate training or background in source control or Git, leading to changes being made directly in an org without going through source control.

- Despite the claim that source control is the best practice, it's still possible and sometimes desirable to make changes in production in Salesforce.

- Blue Canvas can help solve the issue of making source control the source of truth by automatically checking for changes in real time and committing them to a Git repo, making it easy for the entire team to treat source control as the source of truth.

- Blue Canvas requires no training and can be set up in 4 clicks using the Salesforce OAuth flow.
