Push different branch to Heroku

Question

Just finised work on my other branch. Now I need to test that this works on Heroku before I merge with the master branch.

Is it possible to pus

Answer 1

Yes, pushing to a branch named differently that your current one is possible using the syntax:

git push heroku other:master

This tells Git to push the contents of your other branch to the master branch on the heroku remote. Keep in mind that you may have to force push if there are commits on heroku/master that don't appear in your other branch.

For more information have a look at the documentation of the option to git push.
