extract_profileps

example bash script to extract profiles/permissionsets from an org (requires sfdx, unzip, awk)

process_profileps

example bash script to strip out everything but objectPermssions from profiles/permissionsets (requires xslt, awk)

example steps migrating from one org to another (eg. sandbox -> target)

1. connect sfdx cli to the orgs

   sfdx force:auth:web:login -r https://test.salesforce.com -a sandbox

   sfdx force:auth:web:login -r https://test.salesforce.com -a target

2. extract the profiles

   ./extract_profileps.sh sandbox

3. process the profiles from sandbox and output to sandbox_deploy

   ./process_profileps.sh sandbox sandbox_deploy

4. deploy to target org (check)

   sfdx force:mdapi:deploy -c -d src/sandbox_deploy -w -1 -u target

5. fix errors (eg. fix missing target objects by adding to process_objectPermissions.awk, fix userPermissions in target org or directly in profiles/permissionsets in src/sandbox_deploy folder) and repeat step 4.
