Heroku: ! You do not have access to the app heroku

Question

I originally had an app with the default name heroku set up. However I wanted to change this so I had two apps, an staging and production app. Following the heroku guide here I think i've got it working, running git remote -v shows

heroku  [email protected]:oldapp.git (fetch)
heroku  [email protected]:oldapp.git (push)
staging [email protected]:newapp.git (fetch)
staging [email protected]:newapp.git (push)

but I now want to change the name of heroku to "production". Running heroku apps:rename production --app heroku results in:

Renaming heroku to production... failed
 !    You do not have access to the app heroku.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

To rename a git origin perform the following;

git remote rename heroku production

this will now let you do

git push production master

to deploy your application.
