bitbucket private repository on heroku

Question

I have a rails app which requires a gem. I host this gem on bitbucket in a private repository.

In my Gemfile I added the gem like following:

gem \"my-gem         


        

Answer 1

The proper way to achieve this is using bundle config, which saves the configuration on your home directory .bundle/config so it stays outside the repo.

bundle config bitbucket.org user:pwd

And then on Heroku you have to set a simple configuration in a special way:

heroku config:set BUNDLE_BITBUCKET__ORG=user:pwd

And in your Gemfile you just use the URL without the credentials.

gem 'gemname', git: "https://bitbucket.org/User/gemname.git"
