sgd - do delta from last commit to current commit, generate the package.xml and destructivechanges in the current directory, and ignore directories listed in .sgdignore

sf project deploy start --target-org MyOrg --manifest package/package.xml --pre-destructive-changes destructiveChanges/destructiveChanges.xml --ignore-conflicts --ignore-warnings --wait 20 --dry-run

sgd - do a Salesforce Project deploy based on the generated manifest from SGD, and do destructive changes before running anything else based on the destructivechanges.xml
