Changing Heroku management correctly

Question

I have an app on Github that was shared by my team but 1 person controlled the Heroku updates. That person is leaving and transferred the administrative permissions on Heroku to me. The Heroku app is now correctly linked to my Heroku account.

Currently I forked the Github repository to my local. How do I initiate the Heroku app on this forked repository? Is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

You need to add a git remote pointing to your Heroku app as done here: How to link a folder with an existing Heroku app

Then you simply do a git push to Heroku to deploy the latest version of your app. Also see the Heroku documentation on this.
