Deploy to heroku directly from my github repository

Question

How can I deploy my app to Heroku directly from my GitHub remote repository?

Does a command for that exist, like this?

heroku push https://github.com/user/repository.git

Any tips? Tricks?

Answer 1

You can put services in between Github and Heroku which may achieve a similar result to what you want.

There are presently two addons in the Heroku Addon library which would be able to do this for you via Continuous Deployment.

Codeship.io (https://addons.heroku.com/codeship) wercker (https://addons.heroku.com/wercker)

Basically, when you add and setup these addons they install a webhook into your projects github repo and then when you push to the repo, the webhook is triggered which triggers the service to grab your code (run tests if you want) and then push the code to Heroku.

Answer 2

Heroku recently added option to synchronize deployment with GitHub
