Uploading from desktop to Heroku

[braini...@gmail.com]

Hey everyone,

It appears I have gotten all the kinks worked out of this webapp. What I would like to do now is upload it to Heroku from my Ubuntu Desktop. Please advise to the steps associated with performing that task and any and all advise in regard to things I should watch out for or be concerned about.

Thank you

[Joe Guerra]

You should create a github repository and add your code there first.  Then when you create your rails heroku app, just select the repository.   It will pull your files from the repo and build your app online.

Heroku's docs are pretty good -- I'd start here:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/command-line

Good luck!

Why do I want to create a github first? What is the value in doing so? What if that isn't something i want to do?

Interaction with Heroku aside,

1. You have your code somewhere besides your local disk as backup
2. It makes your project code accessible if you're switching computers
3. It allows you to easily collaborate with others on your project
4. Github will scan your dependencies and report packages that have
security updates to be installed

For starters :-)

Maybe i should rephrase the question. If I have another online source safe, why should I use github? Is there not a way to go directly from my development machine to uploading to Heroku?

Ah, different question.

Hi you need to create a git repository. You can upload from git or upload from your local computer.

By using these statements, This works on Linux Mint ad should work on there distros.

You need to log into your heroku account bu using heroku login in the terminal.

Then create your app on Heroku with appname  is created by heroku create 

All terminal commands.

$ rails test

$ heroku login

$  heroku create 

$ git init

$ heroku git:remote -a appname

$ git add .

$ git commit -am "make it better"

$ git push heroku master

$ heroku maintenance:on

$ heroku pg:reset DATABASE

$ heroku run rails db:migrate

$ heroku run rails db:seed

$ heroku maintenance:off

$ heroku restart

Cheers Dave
