Overview of DevOps CLI in VS Code
Known Issues: Required Update
An update is required. The current release of Flosum DevOps requires the latest versions of the Flosum CLI (@flosum/cli package) and the Flosum DevOps-CLI Extension. Earlier CLI releases do not support topologies and cannot work with a DevOps tenant that uses them, so existing installations must be updated.
Node.js 22 is required. On Node.js 24, the install and update commands appear to succeed but leave you on an earlier release. Move to Node.js 22 before installing or updating.
Operating System Compatibility
Flosum CLI and Flosum DevOps-CLI Extension are compatible with the following operating systems:
macOS
Linux
These tools are currently not designed to work with Windows.
Overview
Flosum provides a DevOps extension for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) that streamlines work on DevOps projects by giving you direct access to Flosum CLI commands through an easy-to-use interface. Rather than running commands manually in a terminal, you can trigger them directly from VS Code, which reduces context switching and keeps you focused on your code. The extension works alongside the underlying Flosum CLI Node.js package and lets you:
Manage logins to DevOps tenants.
Initialize and clone projects.
Check out and pull branches.
View and commit changes.
Together, these capabilities cover the day-to-day tasks involved in moving Salesforce changes through a Flosum DevOps branch. To get started, follow the instructions in the articles below to install the Flosum CLI and the Flosum DevOps-CLI extension.
Once the extension is installed, see the following article to learn how to use it and what each command does.
