Answer 1

Here is the steps i followed to make heroku work with git on my windows machine. Step 1: create ssh rsa keys to use. 1.1 On windows to create ssh keys you need some additional tools from here.

Step 2: Generate ssh key using putty key-gen. name this key as id_rsa. Now you have to pair of id_rsa key(pub&ppk).

Step 3: Put these keys into your

c:\users\\.ssh 

folder.

Step 4. Now go to the folder where your git is installed. like

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git

and try to create .ssh folder. Note: to create .ssh folder you need to run cmd as administrator and run mkdir .ssh.

Step 5. Now put your id_rsa key pair in this folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\.ssh"

Step 6. open your cmd again. Goto your app folder and do initialize git again. here is the sequence of commands.

git init
git add .
git commit -m "This will be resolved now"
heroku keys:clear
heroku keys:add

git remote add heroku git@heroku.com:.git

Now you can do

git push heroku master. Hope i have covered all the steps for the windows user. for mac and unix user follow. Winfield
