About:
forcecli is a command-line interface tool designed for interacting with the Salesforce Platform. It allows developers to authenticate with Salesforce orgs, execute SOQL queries, and manipulate data directly from the terminal. This tool streamlines administrative tasks and development workflows by providing a lightweight alternative to the official GUI.
Key Features:
  • SOQL query execution
  • Data import/export (CSV)
  • Apex code execution
  • Org authentication management
Use Cases:
  • Automating data backups or migrations from Salesforce orgs
  • Running ad-hoc queries for debugging or reporting purposes
  • Integrating Salesforce interactions into CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • sf CLI – The official Salesforce CLI is more comprehensive and extensible, whereas forcecli is a lighter, Go-based alternative focused on core CRUD operations.
  • sfdx – SFDX is the older standard for Salesforce development, largely superseded by the 'sf' CLI, offering a more complex project-based workflow compared to forcecli's direct approach.
