Answer 1

To generate a long term heroku token use:

heroku authorizations:create

Sample Output:

Creating OAuth Authorization... done
Client:      <none>
ID:          XXXXXXXX-XXXX-4c9c-85f2-554f0f0c14fa
Description: Long-lived user authorization
Scope:       global
Token:       XXXXXXXX-XXXX-4ad5-ac64-44bbc01c2d95

Then use the following info for git:

username: blank (type the word blank)
pass: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-4ad5-ac64-44bbc01c2d95

Answer 2

Simply write: $heroku login
It will take you to the web login. Enter your credentials there, and you will be logged in via CLI as well.

Answer 3

I fixed this by changing the http address to ssh://git@heroku/...

Answer 4

If anybody else is trying to solve this on cygwin: http://www.railszilla.com/git-push-heroku-master-authentication/start rewriting to SSH transport did the trick for me:

git config --global url.ssh://git@heroku.com/.insteadOf https://git.heroku.com/

Answer 5

This happens because git and heroku aren't using the same _netrc file. This is something I'm trying to fix, but you can help me out by finding where your _netrc file should be and where the CLI is putting it.

The following will output potential sources of where the _netrc file could be:

> echo %HOME%
> echo %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
> echo %USERPROFILE%

You could try to add the _netrc file into one of them to find the one that matches. Let me know which has the _netrc file, and where you are able to put it and have git pick it up by not asking you for the username/password.

Also check your .gitconfig to see if there are any git credential helpers, that may be causing an issue.

Answer 6

From the Heroku documentation

Enter the following commands:

# Enable SSH authentication
$ heroku create --ssh-git

# Redirect tall HTTPS calls to SSH
$ git config --global url.ssh://git@heroku.com/.insteadOf https://git.heroku.com/
