What's the correct way to rename a heroku app?
HerokuHeroku ToolbeltHeroku Problem Overview
Doesn't seem to be a way to do it from the command line, and when I do this from the site, I run into this issue when I try to git push heroku master:
! No such app as [previous app name].
Is this as simple as changing how I point to the app in git?

Solution 8 - Heroku
If you want to rename your heroku app use: heroku apps:rename new_name
Please replace "new_name" with the name you want to give your app. make sure you do not include any "https://" because this will give you an issue. simply replace new_name with your app name
e.g heroku apps:rename grapefruitblog
After doing this, heroku requires that you update git remotes for all other local checkouts of the app. you can do this by running this command: heroku git:remote -a new_name
Again, replace new_name with the name you previously put in
e.g heroku git:remote -a grapefruitblog
Solution 9 - Heroku
to rename app use:
heroku apps:rename --app <old_name> <new_name>
then, remove remote heroku:
git remote rm heroku
and add new one:
heroku git:remote -a <new_name>
and push changes:
git push heroku <branch_name>:main
