Use Salesforce CLI to authorize in to, create, and clone sandboxes. Traditionally, admins
create and manage sandboxes through the Setup UI. But we realize that many admins and developers
want the ability to create and manage their development and testing environments
programmatically, and to automate their CI processes. Salesforce CLI enables you to do
both.
