'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

The following commands will work well for ruby on rails application deployment on heroku if heroku is already installed on developers machine. # indicates a comment

1. heroku login
2. heroku create
3. heroku keys:add #this adds local machines keys to heroku so as to avoid repeated password entry
4. git push heroku master
5. heroku rename new-application-name #rename application to the preferred name other than the auto generated heroku name
