heroku notes:

after creating a heroku account, and downloading the heroku toolbelt

- test your app locally

- make sure your app's folder has been initialized as a git repo
  - IMPORTANT: your .git folder, must be in the root of your application
    - if not, terrible error message: "no cedar-supported app detected"

- if not already logged in: ```heroku login```
  - and then fill out email and pw

- run ```heroku create <your-app-name>```
  - this sets up a heroku remote in your git repo

- stage and commit all changes, and push up to your heroku remote
  - ```git push heroku <your_branch>:master

- ```heroku run rake db:migrate``` to migrate your production database
- ```heroku run rake db:seed``` to seed your production database

- visit your application

- to observe activity on your application
  - ```heroku logs --tail```

- to fix everything when things break for apparently no reason
  - ```heroku restart```
