Question

I have a Rails app that I am hosting on Heroku, and hosting images on a Amazon S3. I am trying to add my Amazon credentials to my app using:

heroku config:add aws_access_key:<your access key> aws_secret_key:<your secret key>

I keep getting the error:

zsh: parse error near `\n'

I have no idea what the problem is.

I was facing the same error while trying to do a commit in GitHub. Turns out, <> are reserved, so of course I could NOT name anything within them. Posting this for SEO purposes for whoever faces the same issue in GitHub.
