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

I would suggest to use ENV vars instead of a new user like:

https://#{ENV['BITBUCKET_USER']}:#{ENV['BITBUCKET_PWD']}....

Then set them using:

heroku config:add BITBUCKET_X=value

For your development environment you can use the dotenv gem to define the credentials.
