Heroku deployment, git remote not added

Question

I'm new to Heroku, trying to follow the "Getting Started with NodeJS tutorial" and I got stuck at the "Deploy your App" stage.

When I run "heroku create" I do not get "Git remote heroku added". I realized it was missing after trying the "git push heroku master" step and getting "fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git". What did I do wrong?

Answer 1

After running heroku create my-amazing-app, you should see a response with the web url along with the git url. Use the git url (something like git.heroku.../my-amazing-app.git) to add the remote yourself like so:

git remote add heroku git.heroku.../my-amazing-app.git

Then running git remote -v should show the new remote with heroku.

Answer 2

Please do following command then enter:

git init

After that you can git push heroku master again
