Deploying to heroku with git keeps getting rejected due to fast-forwards

===== Compiling assets...[OK]
===== Commiting assets...[OK]

Answer 1

git push -f REMOTE BRANCH:master #or just master

Force it! Replace REMOTE with your heroku remote name (git remote -v to view all remotes). Replace BRANCH with the branch you want to push or just put "master" for the master branch.
