Adding multiple heroku apps to a single repository different branches
Suppose you have two heroku remote apps
myapp-dev & myapp-prod
and two git branches
master(for dev) & production
Now lets setup heroku on the existing git repo in your local machine
Assuming the branches and the apps exist already
git remote add heroku-myapp-dev https://git.heroku.com/myapp-dev.git
git remote add heroku-myapp-prod https://git.heroku.com/myapp-prod.git
git remote -v
should show something like this
heroku-myapp-prod https://git.heroku.com/myapp-prod.git (fetch)
heroku-myapp-prod https://git.heroku.com/myapp-prod.git (push)
heroku-myapp-dev https://git.heroku.com/myapp-dev.git (fetch)
heroku-myapp-dev https://git.heroku.com/myapp-dev.git (push)
origin [email protected]:username/myapp.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:username/myapp.git (push)
Now if you want to push your master branch to a particular heroku app
git push heroku-myapp-prod master
To push the other branch(production being the other branch)
git push heroku-myapp-prod production:master

I suspected this was possible but wasn't sure cuz heroku use a different git notation to set the default remote. Thanks a lot!

hello please i have a question.

Assuming I have two Apps created by heroku example (the 1st has the name 'www.herokuapp.vexhub.com' and another 'www.herokuapp.winword.com')

Now how do I push to any of the apps respectively, like pushing to the 1st or the 2nd?

Thanks
