    1. You can follow below step for non scratch org
      1) Download the all component in vscode which you want to deploy in other org (Use SFDX: Retrieve This Source from Org)
      2) Then Authenticate your 2nd org with "SFDX: Authorize an Org" command
      3) Then deploy the changes with "SFDC: Deploy This Source to Org"

  9. Hi Amit,
    For DX with Non Scratch Orgs, the DX structure is only in VS code and package xml structure in VS Code is similar to traditional format - correct? We are trying to do GitHub integration with Non Scratch Org using DX. Do we keep a copy of the DX format as 'Master' in GitHub for identifying the "Diff"? Also by not using Scratch Org, are the DX commands still able to pull the changes and all dependencies like in Scratch Org?

    1. Hello Raju,

      Did you able to sort this out? I faced the same error but with the command. sfdx force:source:push And it was working fine two days ago. Just started facing this issue.

    2. Just delete stash.json, you should be fine, it gets generated by sfdx cli command automatically. This happens when previous sfdx command failed or corrupted.
