How to link a folder with an existing Heroku app

Question

I have an existing Rails app on GitHub and deployed on Heroku  I m trying to set up a new development machine and have cloned the project from my GitHub repository  However  I m confused as to how to link this folder up to Heroku  Originally  I used the heroku create command  but obviously I don t want to do that this time since it will create another Heroku instance

Two things to take care while setting up a new deployment System for old App  1  nbsp To check your app  access to Heroku  especially  the app   heroku apps   it will list the  apps you have access to  if you set up for the first time  you probably need to   heroku keys add   2  nbsp Then set up your git remote  For already created  Heroku app  you can easily add a remote to your local repository with the heroku git  remote command  All you need is your Heroku app   s name   heroku git remote -a appName   you can also rename your remotes with the git remote rename command   git remote rename heroku heroku-dev you desired app name    then You can use the git remote command to confirm that a remote  been set for your app    git remote -v

Heroku links your projects based on the heroku git remote  and a few other options  see the update below   To add your Heroku remote as a remote in your current repository  use the following command   git remote add heroku git heroku com project git   where project is the name of your Heroku project  the same as the project heroku com subdomain   Once you ve done so  you can use the heroku xxxx commands  assuming you have the Heroku Toolbelt installed   and can push to Heroku as usual via git push heroku master  As a shortcut  if you re using the command line tool  you can type   heroku git remote -a project   where  again  project is the name of your Heroku project  thanks  Colonel Panic   You can name the Git remote anything you want by passing -r remote name    Update   As mentioned by Ben in the comments  the remote doesn t need to be named heroku for the gem commands to work  I checked the source  and it appears it works like this    If you specify an app name via the --app option  e g  heroku info --app myapp   it will use that app  If you specify a Git remote name via the --remote option  e g  heroku info --remote production   it will use the app associated with that Git remote  If you specify no option and you have heroku remote set in your Git config file  it will use the app associated with that remote  for example  to set the default remote to  production  use git config heroku remote production in your repository  and Heroku will run git config heroku remote to read the value of this setting  If you specify no option  the gem finds no configuration in your  git config file  and the gem only finds one remote in your Git remotes that has  heroku com  in the URL  it will use that remote  If none of these work  it raises an error instructing you to pass --app to your command
