This post relates to a rapidly changing event.
I simply want to connect to my GitHub account. When I do it, I get this error message as a small red pop up on the upper right side of the page:
Items could not be retrieved, Internal server error.
As of May 25, 2022, at 19:52 UTC, GitHub integration has been re-enabled:
We are happy to report that the GitHub integration is re-enabled! You can now reconnect with GitHub and restore your Heroku pipeline functionality, including Review Apps, with newly generated tokens.
You can connect to GitHub immediately or wait for the enhanced integration as described in this blog post. To re-establish your GitHub connection now, please follow these instructions.
Here is what the referenced blog post says about "enhanced integration":
In an effort to improve the security model of the integration, we are exploring additional enhancements in partnership with GitHub, which include moving to GitHub Apps for more granular permissions and enabling RFC8705 for better protection of OAuth tokens. As these enhancements require changes by both Heroku and GitHub, we will post more information as the engagement evolves.
No timeline is mentioned for availability of the enhanced integration.
Between April 15 and May 25, 2022, Heroku's GitHub integration feature was disabled while Heroku investigated a security breach. During that time, deploying was still possible via other means, most notably via git push.
To mitigate impact from potentially compromised OAuth tokens, we will revoke over the next several hours all existing tokens from the Heroku GitHub integration. We are also preventing new OAuth tokens from being created until further notice. Your GitHub repositories will not be affected in any way by this action.
Which Heroku features have become non-operative due to the removal of the Heroku-GitHub integration?
Enabling review apps
Creating (automatic and manual) review apps
Deploying (automatic and manual) review apps
Deploying an app from GitHub (either manual or automatic)
Heroku CI cannot create new runs (automatically or manually) or see GitHub branch list
Heroku Button: unable to create button apps from private repositories
ChatOps: unable to deploy or get deploy notifications
Any app with a GitHub integration may be affected by this issue. To address specific integration issues, please open a case with Heroku Support
Migrating from GitHub deployment to Git deployment
At 2022-04-21 23:53 UTC, Heroku provided extended instructions for migrating from GitHub-based deployment to Git-based deployment:
While our customers remain unable to reconnect to GitHub via the Heroku dashboard, we wanted to share a supplement to the code deployment methods previously provided. For instructions on how to change your deployment method from GitHub to Heroku Git, please refer to the following Help article: How to switch deployment method from GitHub to Heroku Git with all the changes/app code available in a GitHub repo.
This is due to an issue reported at their status portal, here.
For now, the solution is to use another pushing strategy.
The best one, for now, is using their remote with Heroku CLI. The steps for it are:
1. Install the Heroku CLI if not yet installed
Further information about installation and setup can get here
2. Perform login with the heroku login command
You will be prompted with your default browser window for completing the login at the Heroku portal.
3. Assuming you already have your app set up at Heroku (if not, please follow this), you just need to add a new remote for your Git repository with Heroku CLI.
Run heroku git:remote -a example-app - substitute "example-app" with your app name.
4. git remote -v to check if the remote has been set successfully
You should see something like this appear as a response:
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your-app-name.git (fetch)
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your-app-name.git (push)
5. Push your branch to the new heroku remote
git push heroku your_branch_name
6. You should see the progress of your deployment being displayed in the terminal
The reference for this answer has been taken from here, which can also be used if further information other than the one provided in this answer is needed.
I'm in the same situation, and, as others stated, it's due to a Heroku security issue. In the meantime, you can deploy your code by using the Heroku CLI.
So, on the Heroku web dashboard, select Heroku Git:
Then set up the Heroku CLI with heroku login.
Finally, if your repository already exists on GitHub, you need to add a new remote by running:
heroku git:remote -a your_app_name
git push heroku master
You can find more information about this solution in the official documentation.
It is just a temporary thing, and more details about this issue are here.
You could push to both GitHub and Heroku at once for a temporary solution:
git push -u origin <branch>
git push heroku <branch>
I see the previous answers, but since I was facing an issue with review-apps (PR apps), mostly you will be working with different branches in that case, so here is a solution for pushing your stuff other than the (master/main) branch to Heroku.
First make sure your remote origin is set up correctly
heroku git:remote -a your_awesome_app
You can also confirm it by git remote -v and you should see your origin pointing to your Heroku application.
git remote -v
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your_awesome_app.git (fetch)
Here origin name is heroku.
If you want to deploy your changes from the main branch
git push heroku main
If you want to push your changes from feature branch (other than the* main branch)
Then push your feature branch to Heroku using the below command
git push heroku feature:main
heroku - is your origin name (confirm your origin name with git remote -v
feature - is your current branch which is other than main/master branch (check your branch name with git branch or git status)
For those who are using this integration for deployment purposes this, I suggest you use the deploy to a Heroku GitHub action here:
Deploy to Heroku
That way, you do not have to make significant changes to your deployment workflow.
I had the same issue. I already had cli installed.
git remote
Output:
heroku
origin
git remote -v
Output:
heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git (fetch)
heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git (push)
origin https://github.com/GitUserName/yourRepo.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/GitUserName/yourRepo.git (push)
Verify using the Git branch, if your branch is named main. For example, you would do:
git push heroku main
For me it is
git push heroku master
Now push your local changes
git push heroku master
Output:
To https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
I do not care that it is different than its remote. I've been developing locally and did not realize the automatic Git deploys had been failing. I care about the local changes:
git push heroku master -f
Now the deployed application is working as expected.
If you are getting an error while trying to push, it may be due to having different branch names for development vs deployment. In such a case, follow the instruction below;
If you are developing on a branch and deploying via Git you must run:
git push heroku <branchname you're developing on>:<branch you're deploying from>
This article goes into details on the behavior:
Duplicate Build Version Detected
Here's the easy work pattern I have used for Heroku. This is intended to help others who may not have gone through this before. I used this previously (2014-5) and had to set it up again last night to push.
First add the Heroku remote:
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git
As GitHub is often "origin" (git push origin...), this adds another remote destination, "heroku" (git push heroku...)
git remote
Output:
heroku
origin
My pattern for code/git/pushing:
Local development is the same. Push to GitHub, merge, and nothing changes.
Set your deploy to "Heroku git" as #a-chris outlines.
To push to Heroku, simply push the correct branch to the newly added "heroku" remote source. I use the --force option to dismiss any possibility of conflict. Unless you have been using Heroku Git and branching previously, there should only be one branch - typically "master" to use.
This will trigger a deploy. You can watch or review in the dashboard as well as the terminal. Treat the new "heroku" source as a directory to dump code to promote and not a repository you want to keep history, etc. A second-class citizen in this particular pattern.
I push from my local terminal now instead of auto-deploy or via the dashboard button. If your organisation is large, I recommend controlling access. Many developers may not have experience juggling multiple destination repositories or to catch an accidental push.
To trigger a local push, be sure your master (or whatever) is up to date...watch your commit hashes!
This will set you up to follow advice such as BR19_so and others.
Henrique Aron's answer is working for the local machine.
For a remote SSH server, you will face an IP mismatch error.
To resolve it:
Log in to the Heroku website
Go to account settings
Reveal the API keys in the panel
In the server CLI, type heroku login -i
Input email, use the API key as the password, and you can follow the rest of the steps of a Git remote push
I am using a 2014 MacBook Pro with macOS 11.6.5 (Big Sur) version for command
brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku
I was getting an error and a message to update to the latest Xcode. The latest Xcode needed the latest macOS, which I could not upgrade to (I needed a 2015 MacBook Pro or newer). For a 2014 MacBook Pro, I was able to Install Xcode_13.2.1.xip and was able to run. Now I can push updates to Heroku.
brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku
There is an update regarding this issue. You can now enable GitHub integration as mentioned in the update.
If it doesn't work, you can try removing the App connection to GitHub (disconnect) and adding the connection again. Adding the connection again can also be done in incognito mode because sometimes an issue occurs related to cookies (mentioned here).
I'm trying to deploy an PHP application at Heroku.
I am following they're guide, that can be found here https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-php
But I got stuck in the Deploying the app step
The tutorial tells me to run git push heroku master, but I keep getting "fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
I've never done this before, but I tried to push other repositories and I keep getting the same message
I have no idea if the problem is with git, heroku, or if it's actually me who's doing something wrong
please help DDD:
I guess you are trying to push into a non-repo on the remote side.
I am trying to deploy a laravel app to heroku but I am currently facing a weird issue. I am getting push rejected, failed to compile php app. I have followed the documentation stating to add heroku git:remote -a dealandpack for existing repos then git push heroku master and even tried adding the -f flag. After uploading and downloading dependencies, I am stuck with this error.
This is the first push to heroku so it's not behind the head or something like that. For the Laracast\Generators, I have checked the AppServiceProvider.php and made sure it is registered but still nothing works.
What is the meaning of pre-receive hook delined? and why is the push rejected?
What steps should I follow to fix that?
I'm trying to deploy my PHP app hosted on github to heroku. Unfortunately heroku doesn't recognise it as PHP and uses default Nodejs setup. I made sure i have composer file in the root directory as specified by heroku documentation page. I also copied Procfile from their example app. Wonder if anybody have an idea why heroku doesn't recognise my app as PHP?
UPDATE
If i push the project from my machine directly to heroku, everything works as intended.
Creating a ticket with heroku support revealed that once my app was recognised as nodejs wouldn't change automatically to PHP (I had a package.json file in my project which made it to look like nodejs app to heroku, and removing it wouldn't help). Simply creating new heroku app, without package.json file solved the problem.
You need to set the correct buildpack before pushing to heroku:
heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php
does the trick.
I am trying to install Heroku for a facebook app. When i try to run $ heroku login as it says here: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/facebook#heroku_account_and_tools_setup I get the following error:
/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
I don't even want to use ruby, I need php. I don't have php/ruby installed. Can you help me?
Here is what you could do
Download heroku toolbet
Download TortoiseGit
Setup SSH keys, you can use putty agent
Git Clone the new heroku app you made using tortoisegit
Make changes on your folder
Commit your changes
Push the changes
Test the app via adding it on a facebook page
Its not as easy as it looks but it has to be done this way unless you have an https server.
There are documentations there that could help you out.
Good luck :)
