Demonstration
Opening a Metadata File in Salesforce
Comparing Permission Sets & Profiles
Validating Changes Against Any Org
Setup
Open Command Palette > Preferences: Open Settings (UI)
Search for "MSK"
Configure Default Working Directory and (optional) Default Compare Script Directory
Execute any command via Command Palette > MSK
>MSK: Open Current File In Org and >MSK: Compare Permissions can also be executed via the right-click context menu for any open file, directly from the editors action buttons or from the file explorer.
Comparing Permissions
Permission files (Profiles or Permission Sets) can be compared against their current version on any other branch to highlight conflicts.
Check out your other branch - e.g. master - (to compare changes against) and ensure it is up-to-date (as you want to compare against the most recent version).
Check out your feature/development branch (to compare changes from).
Use >MSK: Compare Permissions to select the Profile or Permission Set and your branch to compare against.
Receive a success message if merging concluded without conflicts or check the conflict file.
Note: Comparison is not done on a line-by-line basis as e.g. performed by Git, but by comparing the actual metadata and its content. Git-like comparison results in lots of false-positives and difficult to track changes.
