Hi Shrivastava,

Regarding, the profiles and permission sets automated deployment into sandboxes and PROD through CICD.
While using scratch org model development, I could see that it is creating entire package of force-app directory, if entire force-app directory is deployed into any sandbox which would take more time to do the deployment right. Instead of that what would be easy approach to do deployment while using scratch orgs and
How are maintaining the code in Git repo like Feature branch(what it contains - Only feature changes or entire source code)
After creating a scratch org (empty) while pushing code the scratch org ( it's throwing many errors and we have more than 15000+ components certainly which are taking more time and failing to push). Need suggestion on move forward further at this point.
Thanks for your support and appreciate you.
