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

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

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

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 git heroku com appname git  fetch  heroku git heroku com 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 git heroku com 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

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

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  lt YourAppNameOnHeroku gt    And lastly  run this     git push -f heroku  lt NameOfBranch gt  master   Notice I used  lt 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

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
