Answer 1

This is similar to a recent issue in cloudfoundry (but the same idea applies to heroku as well)

Male sure, in your local project, to ignore node_modules first:

echo 'node_modules' >> .gitignore
git rm -r --cached node_modules
git commit -m "ignore node_modules"

Then try your heroku deploy again.
