Private Gem Heroku

  1. Generate an OAuth token from GitHub

You only need to check the repo scope when configuring the token permissions

  1. Update Gemfile to use your private repository

gem 'private_repo', git: 'https://github.com/username/private_repo.git' 3. Configure bundler with your OAuth token

bundle config github.com <your_github_oauth_token> Now bundle and if everything works locally you are ready to deploy to Heroku!

  1. Finally add BUNDLE_GITHUB__COM to your Heroku environment
$ heroku config:add BUNDLE_GITHUB__COM=<your_github_oauth_token>
You now have a private gem installed on Heroku!
