Automatically precompile assets before pushing to Heroku

Question

Is it possible to automatically precompile my assets in a Rails app before pushing out to Heroku? I always forget to do it, so it would be nice if when I typed git push he

Answer 1

It sounds like you might not be on Heroku's Cedar Stack? If you're using the asset pipeline (Rails -v >= 3.1), cedar provides three options for compiling assets.

From the docs:

If you have not compiled assets locally, we will attempt to run the assets:precompile task during slug compilation.
