How to link Heroku app to private Github Repo?

Question

I'm new to Heroku and I'm not familiar with the Deploy/Pipeline verbiage.

I already have the Heroku CLI installed and I deployed an app using:

run: heroku create myNewHerokuApp

My instance is now made.

I have a private repo on Github.

https://github.com/myUserName/myPrivateRepoName.git

How do I link my myNewHerokuApp with myPrivateRepoName.git?
