Heroku Use Guide

A simple guide on the basic process for setting up heroku

Create your deployed site BEFORE you start your project (to track your commits effectively)

Please do not forget to create a .gitignore for your assignments, and in them add: .DS_Store node_modules package-lock.json

If you want to set up heroku to work with mysql there are additional steps that aren't included (you probably want to find those first)

2. git commit -m"your changes"
3. git push origin master
4. git push heroku master

If you have problems with 3/4 (getting errors) you can:

1. git pull and then get push again

or

1. git checkout -b masterbranch
2. git push herko masterbranch

this resets the master branch - you may need to go into your github settings under branches and reset your branch

or

1. git remote add origin https:yourrepofilename
2. git push origin maset

For anyone who can't keep track of all the step by step guides and hold them in their head at once.
