DianaEromosele / Preparing Rails app (with photos) to deploy to Heroku

Preparing Rails app (with photos) to deploy to Heroku
Taken from this stackoverflow thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18324063/rails-4-images-not-loading-on-heroku
You need to do two things to resolve it. First, change these two lines from false to true in production.rb file.
config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.digest = true
Second, if you've syntax like this for your images
background: url("imgo.jpg")
The problem is heroku doesn't have the migrations that you locally have, in order to have the same database version do the following migration on heroku:
To know the local db version do:
$ rake db:version
Then take the version you get locally and make sure you have it in heroku by doing the following:
$ heroku run rake --trace db:migrate VERSION=20151127134901
Explanation: Essentially the above command takes the db migration to heroku with the same version of migration you have locally.
#Create the repo on github. Don't add a .gitignore or license and don't initialize it.
#Back in your terminal inside your project folder
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit message"
git remote add origin https://github.com/your_organization/my_great_app.git
git push -u origin master
