Command line representation here:
git clone https://github.com/vorno-crole/sf-packager
cd sf-packager
npm link
$ sfpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch ./deploy/
This will create a package at ./deploy/sourceBranch/unpackaged/package.xml copying all files into directory.
If any deletes occurred will also create ./deploy/sourceBranch/destructive/destructiveChanges.xml
You can force a specific version for the package.xml with the -p flag
sfpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch -p 42 ./deploy/
You can also just print the package.xml and destructiveChanges.xml by passing the -d flag
sfpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch -d > ~/Desktop/packageAndDestructiveChanges.xml
You can only include the destructive changes with the -x flag
sfpackage -x destinationBranch sourceBranch destructive/
The -s (--src) flag allows you to nominate your source root directory. This defaults to force-app.
sfpackage destinationBranch sourceBranch destructive/ -s src
You can also create "backout" content by reversing the order of the destination and source branches
sfpackage sourceBranch destinationBranch ./deploy/
