[SalesForce] Migrate objects and fields using SublimeApex

Using the Salesforce IDE for Sublime Text 3 (SublimeApex) to interact with Salesforce data I've come across a couple questions I'm hoping to find help with.

Can I migrate custom objects and/or fields from my sandbox into my production environment? Is it something I have to manually setup in the package.xml or is it something even possible with this tool?

Most of the help I can find about migrating object data mentions MavensMate or the Force.com Migration tool but before I look into those options I really want to understand the process and determine if the tool I'm currently using is capable for performing such a task.

Thanks

@Xtremefaith, sorry, I can't add comment below your post.

I like scriptly deployment and always use ant to deploy, generally, I will use eclipse to build my package.xml and deploy it by SublimeApex, however, building the package.xml by UI is very slowly, sometimes, I just want to deploy lots of components and I can directly write the package.xml without UI, therefore, in order to improve the efficiency on writing my package.xml, I made lots of improvement work on how to build package.xml more quickly.

If you are familiar with ant deployment, I think below demo is very helpful for you.

I have posted demo to show how to deploy custom fields or something else by SublimeApex, this demo file is more than 19.5M, when you are opening it, please be patiently.

Dave Carrol has a cool package for sublime called "sublime lightning" you can check it out here: https://github.com/dcarroll/sublime-lightning . I'm pretty sure you can sync Apex classes as well.

It may be due to your package.xml. Your package package.xml should be empty as below. As per the Salesforce documentation "To deploy the destructive changes, you must also have a package.xml file that lists no components to deploy, includes the API version, and is in the same directory as destructiveChanges.xml:"

Also you can set testLevel="RunSpecifiedTests" and keep only one existing test class in <runTest>TestClass1</runTest> to make the process faster.

package.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <version>55.0</version>
</Package>
