Installing a Gem on Heroku from a Private GitHub Repo

Installing a Gem on Heroku from a Private GitHub Repo

Sometimes you want to use a gem on Heroku that is in a private repository on GitHub.

Using git over http you can authenticate to GitHub using basic authentication. However, we don't want to embed usernames and passwords in Gemfiles. Instead, we can use authentication tokens.

  1. Get an OAuth Token from GitHub

First you will need to get an OAuth Token from GitHub using your own username and "note"

Override inspect on ruby objects
# When an RSpec test like this fails,
#
# @my_array.should == [@some_model, @some_model2]
#
# RSpec will call inspect on each of the objects to "help" you figure out
# what went wrong. Well, inspect will usually dump a TON OF SHIT and make trying
# to figure out why `@my_array` is not made up of `@some_model` and `@some_model2`.
#
# This little module and technique helps get around that. It will redefine `inspect`
# if you include it in your model object.
