Mar 23, 2021 at 12:15 comment added sfdcfox @dan You can get Free Limited Access Licenses for your developers, so you don't need to pay CRM-priced licenses for your developers, and also, it doesn't give access to any production data (e.g. Accounts or Custom Objects), aside from Scratch Org and Package-related objects.
Mar 23, 2021 at 12:04 comment added dan It means that you need to give access to your production, let's assume you have 10 teams with 3 developers each, madness. Am I missing something?

Oct 30, 2017 at 18:30 comment added sfdcfox @TylerZika that's a sound recommendation if you don't want everything; by creating a package, you ensure that you're not missing any trivial dependencies (e.g you create a VF page that needs a certain field, so the package manger automatically includes the field in the package for you). If you're literally grabbing everything, just use the Force.com IDE, and select all.

Oct 30, 2017 at 17:32 comment added Tyler Zika @sfdcfox I'm surprised the docs don't have an example. There is this: developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/… but it wants me to create a unmanaged package and select each meta data. I wish there was a select all.
Oct 30, 2017 at 17:30 comment added sfdcfox @TylerZika you retrieve it by normal means (e.g. Force.com IDE), then run force:mdapi:convert to convert it to DX format, then force:source:push to push it to the scratch org. I don't have time to write up a full demo this second, but it's pretty straight forward.
Oct 30, 2017 at 17:26 comment added Tyler Zika @sfdcfox how do I get all my meta data from production and place it in a scratch org?
Oct 28, 2017 at 6:16 comment added sfdcfox @CharlesT certainly. When you spin up a new scratch org, it's brand new with zero customizations, not even the default template customizations and sample data you'd see in a trial or Dev org. You can put any metadata you want in them, from any source you might have access to.
Oct 28, 2017 at 6:07 comment added Charles T Just to clarify as well - is it correct to state that the hub org is simply a mechanism for licensing the use of scratch orgs? It has no other connection to your metadata. You could just as easily take metadata from a totally unrelated project in another org and use that to spin up a scratch org.
