App pushed to heroku still shows standard index page

Question

I went through the steps to install git and the heroku gem and successfully pushed my app to heroku. The problem is, it shows a standard \"You\'re Riding Ruby on Rails\" page ev

Answer 1

I always use git commit -am "message". That prevented the above problem (which would have definitely happened), and I don't know of any reason not to use -am.

EDIT: Also, be sure to use git add . when you have new files to add.

So, my process is:

git status (to see what has changed)
git add . (if there are new files I want to add to repository)
git commit -am "This is the comment"
git push (to github)
git push heroku (--app app-name if there is more than one app connected to this repository)
