CumulusCI now provides a command line interface. The CLI is evolving and not all functions are available through it yet. You can find out more information about the CLI at https://github.com/SalesforceFoundation/CumulusCI/tree/master/cli

If you are already familiar with Github Flow and just want to get up and running using this process in the Salesforce platform, follow these steps:

1. Copy the files from the template directory into your own project

2. Fill in the properties

3. In your package.xml, add the "fullName" element as a child of "Package", like this:

   <fullName>YourPackageName</fullName>
   

4. Set up your CI server (Jenkins, Codeship,…)

5. Clone CumulusCI in your CI server

6. Set a CUMULUSCI_PATH environment variable in the CI server that points to your forked copy

7. Make a commit to a branch to test everything works!
