One Pixel Solid

I enjoy trialling new Rails apps on Heroku before taking them too seriously. They’ve made deployment a breeze. For reference, here are some common commands I use daily.

After finishing a new feature:

git add . git commit -m 'amazing new feature' git push origin master git push heroku master

And if you need to migrate the database:

heroku rake db:migrate

If shit hits the fan, you can tail the logs:

heroku logs --tail

A side note. For Rails 3.1 it seems I need to precompile assets before pushing to Heroku. To do so, run:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

And there’s plenty more in the Heroku DevCenter.
