This guide assumes an existing code base with git configuration.
Step 1: Download and Install Heroku CLI
Download link: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli#download-and-install
Step 2: Login to Heroku
Make sure you are in the project directory and enter the following command, then enter the username and password when prompted
| $ heroku login |
Note that if you do not yet have a Heroku account, you will first need to create one here, before you can login
Step 3: Create the Heroku app
The following command will create a heroku app with a randomly generated name:
| $ heroku create |
Optionally, you can specify a custom name for app before creating with this command:
| $ heroku create [custom name] |
Use the following command to confirm that a heroku remote has been added to the project:
| $ git remote -v |
If a heroku remote is not present, you can easily add one with the following command:
| $ heroku git:remote -a [app name] |
Step 4: Deploy
Once all the above steps are completed, you can deploy your app by pushing to the heroku remote:
| $ git push heroku master |
Step 5: Done! Your app is now deployed on Heroku and the url will be provided once the last command is done executing.
N.B:
To view live application logs:
| $ heroku logs -t |
To access the application console
| $ heroku run bash |
