SFDX source:retrieve Custom Settings from Org?

Question

From within a vscode SFDX project, I'd like to retrieve and eventually manage / set custom settings from within my project.

Command that I'm using for this is a standard CLI call of source:retrieve - nothing fancy.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_cli_reference.meta/sfdx_cli_reference/cli_reference_force_source.htm#cli_reference_force_source_retrieve

Expected solution is something like: sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomSettings (Obviously, this does not work)

Answer 1

Custom Settings are actually implemented as Custom Objects:

sfdx force:source:retrieve -m CustomObject:AdminSetting__c

Make sure you use the API name, including __c.
