You can push an alternative branch to Heroku using Git.

    git push heroku-dev test:master

This pushes your local test branch to the remote&#39;s master branch (on Heroku).


----------


Comment from @Brian Armstrong:

Worth noting also, when you&#39;re ready to go back to master you need to do 

```
git push -f heroku master:master 
```

In my case, the default or base branch was **develop**, so i used:

              git push heroku develop:master 

 

In case git push heroku-dev test:master doesn&#39;t work for you, try git push heroku test:master.
Remember the &quot;test&quot; in &quot;test:master&quot; is the name of the new branch you are on.

You will need to pull the remote branch first before you can push the non master branch.

Run following command in you local repository

    git pull https://heroku:YOUR_HEROKU_API_KEY@git.heroku.com/YOUR_APP_NAME.git

I am getting the following error in Chrome dev console:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property &#39;msie&#39; of undefined

My understanding is that it is because `.browser` is now deprecated in jQuery however I am using the latest version of jQuery tools and it is still giving the error, I checked in the `js` file and it is there. 

How can I get around this so it does not give the error?

So, my question has been asked by someone else in it&#39;s Java form here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1802915/java-create-a-new-string-instance-with-specified-length-and-filled-with-specif

. . . but I&#39;m looking for its JavaScript equivalent.

Basically, I&#39;m wanting to dynamically fill text fields with &quot;#&quot; characters, based on the &quot;maxlength&quot; attribute of each field.  So, if an input has has `maxlength=&quot;3&quot;`, then the field would be filled with &quot;###&quot;.

Ideally there would be something like the Java `StringUtils.repeat(&quot;#&quot;, 10);`, but, so far, the best option that I can think of is to loop through and append the &quot;#&quot; characters, one at a time, until the max length is reached.  I can&#39;t shake the feeling that there is a more efficient way to do it than that.

Any ideas?


FYI - I can&#39;t simply set a default value in the input, because the &quot;#&quot; characters need to clear on focus, and, if the user didn&#39;t enter a value, will need to be &quot;refilled&quot; on blur. It&#39;s the &quot;refill&quot; step that I&#39;m concerned with

Create a string of variable length, filled with a repeated character

I have a project hosted on Heroku and it&#39;s gotten to the point where I want to make an alternate test server (so I can test Heroku workers without messing up production).

I have already set up my main Heroku remote running my trunk and a Heroku-dev remote on which I wish to run an alternate branch.

My problem is that since my alternate branch isn&#39;t master, Heroku won&#39;t build it.

    $ git push heroku-dev test
    counting objects ...
    ...
    Pushed to non-master branch, skipping build.
    To git@heroku.com:example-dev.git
    * [new branch]      test -&gt; test

Switching this build to master is not an option at the moment. Obviously one option is to create a whole new git repo that&#39;s a clone of my test branch, but that doesn&#39;t sound very ideal.

I have a master branch and a working `branch_1`. I want to &#39;move&#39; `branch_1` exactly as it is to `master`. So I want something like this:

    git checkout master
    git merge branch_1 # I don&#39;t know what is correct...


Things which I did but I got loads of files messed up with annoying conflicts. So now master contains exactly the same files of `branch_1` avoiding any conflicts, just overwriting files.
Any help?

Git merge branch into master

After updating the janus vim distribution there appears to be a problem with using vim for commit messages. The best example of this is when doing a `git pull` to get someone else&#39;s changes. The vim editor is displayed, I type my commit message, I enter &lt;kbd&gt;:&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;w&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;q&lt;/kbd&gt; but instead of the commit working, I get the following error message:

    error: There was a problem with the editor &#39;vi&#39;.
    Not committing merge; use &#39;git commit&#39; to complete the merge.

I then have to manually commit :(

How do I get git to play nicely with vim?

Using vim for git commit messages broken after updating janus

I&#39;m currently working with a repository that has multiple branches.

When I create a tag, does that tag refer to the then-current branch?

In other words: Whenever I create a tag, do I need to switch to the desired branch and tag inside that branch so that the tag refers to that branch at that point in time?

Do Git tags only apply to the current branch?

I have a simple test repository with just several commits and want to see the date&amp;time filtered log:

&lt;/pre&gt;
The first selected commit is `a95527f36a533e1ecba1aadceea31a9dcbe1a8db` from `2013-01-30 01:30:00`. 8 commits are selected:
&lt;pre&gt;
$ git log --author=&quot;automatix&quot; --since=&quot;2013-01-30&quot; --format=oneline -- test | wc
      8      34     498
&lt;/pre&gt;
OK. Now I select since `2013-01-31`:
&lt;pre&gt;
$ git log --author=&quot;automatix&quot; --since=&quot;2013-01-31&quot; --format=oneline -- test | wc
      0       0       0
&lt;/pre&gt;

What? Ok, that should mean, that the `since` rule *excludes* the commits of the startdate. Right?

But let&#39;s go on:

I don&#39;t understand the logic. Can anybody explain, why it works so strange?

How does git log --since count?

I&#39;m having trouble adding a folder and all of it&#39;s subdirectories to my git repository. I realized this is a very popular question after doing some googling and I&#39;ve tried each suggestion with no luck, specifically the suggestion from the [man page on git-add][1]. I even tried `git add -A` with no success. For simplicity sake, say I initialized my git repository as `Dir1`. Then I have the following directory structure of files.

    Dir1/file1-1.txt
    Dir1/file1-2.txt
    Dir1/Dir2/file2-1.txt
    Dir1/Dir2/Dir3/file3-1.txt


My real files have subdirectories that span 5-6 levels deep, so is there a git command to add all the files in each subdirectory to my repository? Right now, when I do the suggestion from the man page `git add Dir1/\*` I can see `Dir2` in my repo, but it shows up as a green folder and I can&#39;t open it, which leads me to believe that all the files/folders in `Dir2` did not get added. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I&#39;m a new git user (less than a week of using it), so try and keep your instructions at a beginner&#39;s level.

I&#39;m new to using Heroku and I have a Ruby/Sinatra app in which I plan on using a MySQL database as the main data store. 

However, I do not want to write results directly to the database on Heroku. Instead, I want to write the results to a local database, and then be able to easily deploy/update/copy my local DB to the &quot;production&quot; database on Heroku.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

How to deploy local MySQL database to Heroku

So I understand that heroku functions as a git repository, but let&#39;s say i want to use github as well as a repository. How do I set it up such that I have two repositories and both are in sync? 

heroku and github at the same time

I have a .sql file with a bunch of insert commands that I want to execute on my postgres database on heroku. But I don&#39;t know how to do it:-

If I had access to postgres console I&#39;d type the following:

    psql -h localhost -d database -U username -f datafile.sql

but it seems that heroku doesn&#39;t support this command. I&#39;ve tried with

    heroku pg:psql

but that doesn&#39;t let me input a file.

Are there any other options?
