Hi,  
have anyone some experience with Heroku?  
I have an account there, but I’m unable to tell git to work with it. Can  
some of you help me please?

Regards  
Jan K.

Hi Jan, I would recommend speaking with your account representatives or  
the  
Heroku support because there may be configuration issues with your  
account.

Good luck,

-Conrad

So you are really asking the Rails mailing list for help with a tool  
interfacing with a service provider?

I think the OP asked a fair question. People ask about deploying on  
Dreamhost or [insert host name here] all the time on this list. Why  
not Heroku?

To the OP: More information would be helpful. Like what doesn’t work?  
Have you checked out their support section and uploaded your public key?

Because the Dreamhost deployment questions are generally asking about  
how to configure Rails to work around some technical limitation on the  
host. This question is different. It has not a whit to do with any  
Rails issue. It belongs on Heroku’s support forum or on the Git list,  
not here.

This is not the place to support Git integration with Heroku.

Hi Jan,

I’m supposing you are a newbie just like me.

So, answering your question on a – Ruby on Rails TALK group –

Last year I give a try putting some simple applications there, and was  
unable to get my apps. from git also.

It was heroku/garden at that time, and there was a feature letting  
users to upload apps. in ZIP format.

It was much easier that way…

So, I politely suggest you to get in touch with the Heroku support  
team, and check not only your current git interface problem but the  
ZIP upload alternative also.

Thanks for your question !

Hi Jan,

I assume you have checked the heroku docs at [heroku.com](http://heroku.com)?  
Did you follow the steps described there to get started?  
Can you give details about what is not working?
