Heroku toolbelt command requires app-name

Question

How do you specify the app you want when you log in to Heroku from the command line?

I was trying to check the logs so when I first logged in I tried:

Heroku logs 

this then told me:

 !    No app specified.  !    Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app <app name> 

I then tried:

heroku --app my-appname 

but i get:

`--app` is not a heroku command. 

I have tried all combinations.

Answer 1

You still need to include the command:

heroku logs --app app-name

You can also use -a instead of --app:

heroku logs -a app-name

Answer 2

Another option is to associate your (git) project to Heroku. From heroku open - no app specified:

$ cd app-dir $ heroku git:remote -a app-name $ heroku logs
