SFDX enhancements

Instead, automate the process by transferring from a Salesforce Org, a Version Control Branch, or a Module (an unlocked package.
- Auto Commit (Backup) to your Version Control repository on deployment With your Salesforce DX-enabled code repositories (such as Git, SVN, etc.), you can now Auto Commit into the repository as part of your deployment process – Saving time lost from a manual commit operation

- Salesforce Dependency API Beta support – SFDX only – The Salesforce Dependency API is still in beta – but it has the potential to be such a powerful tool for developers that we’ve already begun implementing our support for it. If you want to start finding out about its potential to improve your life as a developer, take a look at this beta implementation. In this case, use the Dependency API with the “Compare Orgs” and “Deploy” functions. Use it to identify APEX class Metadata member differences between Orgs and deploy them to a destination.
