Setting up a new Application on Heroku

You can set up a new web application on Heroku in several ways. Here is my preferred way:

1: Build and test your application locally

2: Set it up as a git repository and commit all changes

3: Go to your account on the Heroku web site and cerate your new app there with your preferred name.

4: In your local git repo run:

$ heroku git:remote -a <your-app-name>

The response should be 'Git remote heroku added'

5: Upload your code with:

$ git push heroku master

6: Finish up your Heroku configuration on the we b site

7: Import any existing database as directed by this article.
