Heroku cedar stack lets you deploy node.js apps and uses the npm package manager to install dependencies When pushing to heroku, it will install dependencies using npm install, and heroku helpfully caches your dependencies between deploys. This can be a problem when you update a dependency that uses a github tarball, like this:

// package.json
{
  "name": "node app name",
  "description": "",
  "version": "0.0.1",
 "dependencies": {

# by default, heredoc strings are treated like double-quoted ruby strings, which means you can do string interpolation:

<<-EOF
  The time is #{Time.now}
EOF
# => The time is Wed Sep 14 10:04:29 -0400 2011

# But you can create heredoc strings that are treated like single-quoted string, like this:

<<-'EOF'
