How to set up Heroku and Github access

Initial setup

Add your ssh keys to Github and Heroku, then run:

git clone git@heroku.com:newice.git -o heroku

Next, run:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:maximz/newice.git

Workflow

Pull latest

git pull (pulls from Github)

Push latest

• git push or git push origin master (pushes to Github)
• git push heroku master (pushes to Heroku and deploys)

Update project timeline

The timeline lives in a separate publicly-visible repository. Navigate to http://github.com/nicetigers/timeline, then click index.html and the Edit button to edit it.

The live URL is: http://nicetigers.github.io/timeline/

(Note that this is a Git repository, so you can clone it and edit index.html locally, then push it back up to Github. Make sure to edit on the gh-pages branch!)

See or change web dyno status

After installing the Heroku toolkit, run:

• heroku ps:scale web=1 (sets it to 1 dyno, which is what we want)
• heroku ps (to see status)
• heroku open to view in browser
