SFDiff - Salesforce Permission Set Comparison Tool

A VS Code extension that compares Salesforce Permission Set with version on the org, showing missing unique and differing entries, enabling granular diffing of individual permission set elements.

Motivation

When comparing permission sets, you often want to see the differences between the two versions. But in standard diff tool you see reorded all the entries, including the ones that were not changed. All changes come in blockes, and individual permissions can't be comfortably applied. So once annoied by this, I decided to create this extension.

Prerequisites

For org comparison functionality, you need:

• Salesforce CLI (SF CLI) v2.x installed and configured
• A default org set using sf config set target-org <your-org-alias> or with VS Code Salesforce Extension
• Note: The extension uses the modern sf CLI, not the legacy sfdx CLI

How to use

SFDiff can be called from the Command Palette with command "SFDiff: Compare with Org" or click on icon in the Editor Context Menu.

Base is the permission set on your local file. Reference is the permission set on the org. Each action is applied to the local - base permission set. SFDiff shows only missing, unique and differing entries, same permissions present in both base and reference are hidden.
