cloned project from github. heroku does not work

Question

I cloned a project from github over to my desktop. I used to work on it form my laptop.

However, on laptop heroku does not seem to work for this app eventhough i have it installed.

First problem:

heroku open >No app specified. >Run this command from app folder or set it adding --app <app name> 

I did not have to specify the --app on my laptop. Because I guess I did command heroku create initially on the lapop.

Second Probelm:

git push heroku master 

gives errors

fatal: 'heroku' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly 

and heroku list

says

 !   This version of the heroku gem has been deprecated.  !   Please update it by running: gem update heroku 

Answer 1

First do:

git remote add heroku [email protected]:{my-project-name}.git 

Where you replace {my-project-name} with the name of the Heroku application as it appears in your Heroku account. For example, if your Heroku account says you have an application named flowing-water-397, then the line would be:

git remote add heroku [email protected]:flowing-water-397.git 

Then Git and the Heroku gem will know that this Git repo is connected to a Heroku.com application. Then you can do things such as:

git push heroku master heroku open
