This means that your code usually lives in multiple places - in your local Git repository, in the remote one living on the server (GitHub is the most well known server), and in the file system of anybody else who has downloaded your work from the remote repository into a local repository of their own. Then, when somebody pulls from that remote repository, they receive your changes and end up with the same code you have. Every time you run the `git push` command, you push your latest changes into that remote repository. A remote repository is a Git repository that lives on a server and is set up to be a mirror of your local work. This is where remote repositories, or remotes, come in. The tradeoff is that your code isn’t easily accessible to others, so you need to regularly upload your changes to a server in order for other people to access them.

This meant that everybody always had access to the same data, because they were all working from the same server, but changes were slow to update and relied on a stable internet connection at all times.īecause all work stored in a Git repository lives in your local file system, source control operations are blazing fast and don’t require an internet connection, since you don’t upload each change to a server as it happens. Those tools were known as centralized version control systems ( SVN or Subversion are the most well known examples), and they only operated on data hosted on a server by uploading changes in real time. This is different from many of the source control tools that preceded Git. In fact, Git is referred to as a distributed version control system because the source code is stored, or distributed, locally across any number of computers and servers. To understand what a remote repository is, it’s important to first understand that Git stores and operates on your data in your local file system. This error is usually caused by misunderstanding one of several things: what a remote repository is, how the `remote` command works, or more specifically what “origin” part of these commands means. To help you avoid making this mistake again, let’s unpack the concept of remote repositories a little.

If you have already created https remotes and want to switch them to use ssh, the following command can be used. It’s possible to inadvertently configure your local repository wrong if you don’t totally get what the commands that you’re running mean, or if you cloned a repository that already has a remote with the name “origin” configured. Rename a remote $ git remote rename heroku staging $ git remote add staging git remote add heroku useful commands List your git remotes $ git remote -v $ heroku git:remote -a staging-app -r stagingĪs points out, all of the examples above use the https protocol for connecting to the remotes, but it is also possible to connect via ssh. $ heroku git:remote -a staging-appĮdit: Thanks to for pointing out you can supply a remote name to this command with the -r flag. If you would like to use a different name for your remote, see the "Rename a remote" section below. However, it looks like this will always use the default remote name heroku for the remote. $ git remote add heroku Īs points out, you can alternatively use a Heroku CLI command to add your remote. $ git push staging staging:master -fĪdd a remote for your Production app and deployuīy convention, the remote name "heroku" is typically used for the production application. If you are very sure you want to proceed, add the -force ( -f) flag. In some cases, your local branch may be missing some commits that were already deployed to Heroku, resulting in an error. If you want to deploy a different branch, you can use the syntax local_branch:destination_branch seen below (in this example, we push the local staging branch to the master branch on heroku.

Note that on Heroku, you must always use master as the destination branch on the remote. Adding a new remote Add a remote for your Staging app and deploy

However, if you are working on an existing app and want to add git remotes to enable manual deploys, the following commands may be useful.

Generally, you will add a git remote for your Heroku app during the Heroku app creation process, i.e.
