Getting SetUp with Heroku

New Project

If you want a full blow-by-blow for a new project then visit Matt's Page.

Joining an existing project

First you need to make sure you have the Heroku Toolbelt on your platform. This requires Ruby, so for Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get ruby
wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh

We assume that you have already cloned the github account. If not:

git clone ssh:url-of-project

Then tell Heroku that you want to add a remote for your repo:

heroku git:remote -a <heroku-app-name> -r <remote-repo-identifier>

(Note this essentially is the same as doing the following, where the remote-repo-identifier is heroku-test:) Don't use SSH, use HTTPS instead as Heroku doesn't allow for SSH

git remote add heroku-test https://git.heroku.com/{PROJECT}-test.git

Now, if you wish to push the master branch to the test server, run:

git push heroku-test master

and likewise for the heroku production server.

More verbose information is here.
