Can someone help me in this. Thanks

$ heroku buildpacks:set          


        

Answer 1

git init and then readding heroku remote worked

heroku git:remote -a yourappname

Answer 2

Try: git add -f package.json It worked for me.

Answer 3

I see a few issues here

1) You need a procfile - https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#define-a-procfile

2) You don't specify the engines in your package.json

"engines": {
  "node": "0.10.x"
},

See here- https://discussion.heroku.com/t/the-official-node-js-buildpack-is-going-on-a-diet/100

3) You have comitted your node_modules directory to git. You should be able to download packages using npm install (that's what your packages.json file is for)

Delete this directory, and commit the delete to git. Then, create a .gitignore file. Add the following line to your .gitignore file:

node_modules

commit this .gitignore file to your repository.

Git will now ignore your node_modules_ directory
