'heroku' does not appear to be a git repository

Question

When I try to push my app to Heroku I get this response:

fatal: \'heroku\' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repositor         


        

Answer 1

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
