When I try to push my app to Heroku I get this response:
fatal: 'heroku' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I have tried 'heroku keys:add' but still comes up with the same result. I already have an ssh key for my GitHub account.
The following commands will work well for ruby on rails application deployment on heroku if heroku is already installed on developers machine. # indicates a comment
You forgot to link your app name to your heroku. It's a very common mistake. if your app is not created, then use:
heroku create (optional app name)
else:
git add .
git commit -m "heroku commit"
heroku git:remote -a YOUR_APP_NAME
git push heroku master
show all apps heroku have access with
heroku apps
And check you app exist then
execute heroku git:remote -a yourapp_exist
Follow this steps:
$ heroku login
Create a new Git repository
Initialize a git repository in a new or existing directory
$ cd my-project/
$ git init
$ heroku git:remote -a appname
Deploy your application
Commit your code to the repository and deploy it to Heroku using Git.
$ git add .
$ git commit -am "make it better"
$ git push heroku master
Existing Git repository
For existing repositories, simply add the heroku remote
$ heroku git:remote -a appname
If this error pops up, its because there is no remote named Heroku. When you do a Heroku create, if the git remote doesn’t already exist, we automatically create one (assuming you are in a git repo). To view your remotes type in:
“git remote -v”. # For an app called ‘appname’ you will see the following:
$ git remote -v
heroku [email protected]:appname.git (fetch)
heroku [email protected]:appname.git (push)
If you see a remote for your app, you can just “git push master” and replace with the actual remote name.
If it’s missing, you can add the remote with the following command:
git remote add heroku [email protected]:appname.git
If you’ve already added a remote called Heroku, you may get an error like this:
fatal: remote heroku already exists.
so, then remove the existing remote and add it again with the above command:
git remote rm heroku
Hope this helps…
i forgot to create a domain name before running git push heroku main. Creating a domain name resolved the problem.
In my case, I was already logged-in and I just executed git push.
My problem was that I used git (instead of heroku git) to clone the app. Then I had to:
git remote add heroku [email protected]:MyApp.git
Remember to change MyApp to your app name.
Then I could proceed:
git push heroku master
I had to run the Windows Command Prompt with Administrator privileges
For me the answer was to cd into the root directory of the app before running heroku create or git push heroku master
For those who are trying to get heroku to work on codeanywhere IDE:
heroku login
git remote add heroku [email protected]:MyApp.git
git push heroku
I got the same error and it turned out I was in the wrong directory. It's a simple mistake to make so double check that you are in the root and then run heroku create and heroku git push master again. Of course you must have done git init, as mentioned in StickMaNX answer above, already before the heroku steps.
You could try the following in your root directory:
// initialize git for your project, add the changes and perform a commit
git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
// create heroku app and push to heroku
heroku create
git push heroku master
Not sure where you are in the process. You also don't need github to deploy on heroku, just git. Hope this helps!
heroku git:remote -a YourAppName
Might be worth checking the config file in the .git folder. If the heroku parameters are missing then you´ll get this error heroku param
[remote "heroku"]
url = [email protected]:`[Your heroku app].git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/heroku/*
the .git folder should be in the local computer file directory for the app you created in heroku. e.g C:\Users\You\Your app.git
Hope this helps
I've seen all the answers here and the only thing missing is after going through these steps:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "first heroku commit"
You should run the command below:
$ heroku git:remote -a <YourAppNameOnHeroku>
And lastly, run this:
$ git push -f heroku <NameOfBranch>:master
Notice I used <NameOfBranch> because if you're currently in a different branch to master it would still throw errors, so If you are working in master use master, else put the name of the branch there.
First, make sure you're logged into heroku:
heroku login
Enter your credentials.
It's common to get this error when using a cloned git repo onto a new machine. Even if your heroku credentials are already on the machine, there is no link between the cloned repo and heroku locally yet. To do this, cd into the root dir of the cloned repo and run
heroku git:remote -a yourapp
Run this
heroku create
before pushing your code.
Following official Heroku article:
Initialize GIT
$ cd myapp
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "my first commit"
Then create (initialize) heroku app with:
$ heroku create YourAppName
Lastly add git remote:
$ heroku git:remote -a YourAppName
Now you can safely deploy your app with:
$ git push heroku master
You should wait for some time and see if you don't get any error/interrupt on console while deploying. For details look at heroku article.
I had the same issue, but later I found out that I forgot to create an app before deploying it. Try the following steps in terminal.
heroku login
heroku create
I am just learning heroku and often forget the steps so I wrote an article about it. You can find it here: https://medium.com/@saurav.panthee/deploy-flask-app-to-heroku-under-3-minutes-2ec1c0bc403a
I encountered the same error making a much more novice mistake: I was typing in Heroku with a capital "H," instead of lowercase.
I recognize that's certainly not the solution for everyone who encounters this error, but it was in my case.
