Question

I have made a Rails 3 App with Aptana Studio. This application is already in Github. I tried engine yard to deploy my app. You should specify to engine yard which is the address from your code in github and automatically he make a copy in your server instance.

Here is my problem…. The client asked to deploy the app with heroku. I would like to use the code which i have in github and deploy it in heroku.

Which is the fastest way to make an heroku app using my code in github? Heroku can take the code from github? Which is the process to follow?

I read the quick start from heroku with rails but they suggest to make a new app and copy file by file in the new heroku app.

Thanks all!

Answer 1

Since you asked for the quikest shortest way, I think that is:

1. Install the heroku gem (gem install heroku)

2. Create a new app on heroku. heroku create
   -# Note the output and the app name, e.g. “sharp-rock-2853”

3. In your existing local app, $ heroku git:remote -a sharp-rock-2853
   -# replace sharp-rock-2853 with your heroku app name from step 1

4. git push heroku master
