Is there a way to set a default app for Heroku Toolbelt?

Question

I have more than one app/git remote at heroku and I would like to know if it is possible to configure a default application so that, whenever I forget to specify the app (--app), the toolbelt would use it.

Answer 1

You can set the heroku.remote key in your repo's Git config to the name of the default remote. For example, if your remote is called staging, you could do this:

$ git config heroku.remote staging 

To see how this works, here is the relevant source.
