Enhancement:

It would be awesome if githubsfdeploy could reach into my org, find the matching metadata components from the repo, and create a (unmanaged) package for me.

The process would conclude with giving me the package URL.

Errors would be any missing components or dependency issues.

So lets elaborate this a bit further...

  1. Click button on README file
  2. Login to Salesforce
  3. Scans repo and scans org
  4. Reports and error if missing components between either? What would be a dependency issue?
  5. Creates an unmanaged package in the org

What is it your really wanting to achieve here i am wondering?

@mshanemc let me know your thoughts, it sounds interesting what your proposing, just need to get my head round it some more...

The idea is that the repo package.xml is used to build the package.

As is, doing an unmanaged package AND github for source control means keeping the two in sync, plus dealing with the package component selection UI.

Internally, and on the appExchange as Salesforce labs, we do a lot of unmanaged packages.

Ah "unmanaged" packages! Got it!

I've re-opened this and marked it as an enhancement.
