How to reset all Heroku in my Git / Rails 3.1 project

Question

I solved my problem while writing this post, but I thought it might be good information for other noobs like me :)

To solve the problem below, edit the following .git / configuration file

There is a section here that looks like

[remote "heroku"] url = [e-mail] :adjective-noun-1234.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/heroku/* 

This is what git is trying to push. Just change the line

 url = [e-mail] :adjective-noun-1234.git 

for any new Heroku project you created. git can now click on Heroku again.

I got my second Rails application operational and I want to deploy it. Therefore, I followed all the steps for deploying Heroku in the Ruby on Rails tutorial (I had the deployment working for the sample application from the book) using:

 heroku create 

Then i click my project

 git push heroku master 

The project does not work, although I cannot find errors in the Heroku logs, all I get is:

We are sorry, but something went wrong. We have been notified of this issue and we will review it shortly.

So, I looked through the Heroku support section and found the official Rails 3.0 / 3.1 deployment guide:

http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3

http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails31_heroku_cedar

I went to Heroku Web Frontend> General Information> Destroy App because I wanted to continue my efforts from scratch.

Following the guide, I created a Heroku project for cedar cedar:

 heroku create --stack cedar 

And click on Heroku using

 git push heroku master 

PROBLEM: for some reason, git is still trying to push through the old Heroku project !!!

leads to an error

 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly 

Answer 1

Check the remote repositories and update it to the new name of the hero:

 git remote -v 

Then remove the hero who is incorrect:

 git remote rm heroku 

Then add new

 git remote add heroku [e-mail] :sitename.git 

Answer 2

It's a bit extreme, but worked for me ....

 heroku destroy appname heroku create git push heroku master
