#
# - Make sure your deployment environments on Heroku are set as Git remotes:
#   git remote add production [email protected]:example-production.git
#   git remote add staging [email protected]:example-staging.git
#
# - Have branch names matching those environments:
#   git checkout -b production
#   git push origin production
#   git checkout -b staging
#   git push origin staging
#
# - Call git deploy branch_name:
#   It will call "git push branch_name branch_name:master" to deploy your app.
