Question

It’s a pretty simple problem. I need to get my heroku CLI app working with an app I have. I already have the git repo checked out (from github though, not sure if that matters).

A google search suggests this page is the place to go to get help, but the page doesn’t tell me anything useful:

Answer 1

If you’ve already checked out the code all you need to need is setup a git remote pointing at heroku.

1. Locate your apps Gtit url – easiest place is from the ‘My Apps’ on Heroku in the ‘Git Repo’ panel, it will look something like [e-mail]:stark-beach-5145.git

2. Back in your local git repo do (replacing with your app URL):

   git remote add heroku [e-mail]:stark-beach-5145.git

Now you will be able to perform git push heroku etc.

However, if you just want to use heroku commands as long as you explicitly pass in the application name you don’t actually need to perform steps 1 and 2 above. eg

heroku ps --app <appname>

would show you the running processes for your application etc. Here appname is the name of the app as listed on the ‘My Apps’ page.
