Environment: Windows 7
I go to Start | Run and type cmd.
I changed to my directory on my local hard drive and I was able to successfully clone the Github project:
git clone git://github.com/heroku/ruby-sample.git
I then change to the directory:
cd ruby-sample
I'm able to run the Heroku create:
heroku create
I log into Heroku via Firefox and I can see my App directory on Heroku. So far, so good. Then I try and push:
git push heroku master
and every time I get the same error:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
I've Googgled and looked at a number of similar questions; but unfortunately, I'll be the first to admin that Linux is a very weak area for me. I haven't found an answer that is specific to this setup on a Windows 7 environment. I do have the Heroku Toolbelt installed.
Thank you!

(I realized I assumed Rails here and you did not specify that. If you aren't using Rails, ignore the comment about RailsInstaller and RailsBridge.)
You may need to add your ssh key to your heroku setup with:
heroku keys:add
If you used RailsInstaller, that should just work. If not, and you don't have an ssh key pair, you'll need to look up how to do that first. You can use PuTTY to do that: http://kb.site5.com/shell-access-ssh/how-to-generate-ssh-keys-and-connect-to-your-account-with-putty/
For a full procedure that will get an app bootstrapped onto Heroku with a Rails app, see: http://installfest.railsbridge.org/installfest/installfest

I'm trying to run commands for my heroku app in my console, but it keeps telling me "Couldn't find that app." even though when I run heroku apps in my console it tells me I have one app called worldofwarcraft-api
So heroku recognizes my app in the apps list, but I can't run any commands to access it. The line I want to run is
heroku ps:scale web=1 --app worldofwarcraft-api
I'm trying to troubleshoot why my API returns a 503 when I try to make a GET request to it. This is the fix the heroku faq told me to try, but it's just telling me it can't find my app.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I deployed my API from github, rather than running the heroku setup in my console. I don't know if that would effect my ability to run heroku commands on the app in my local console.
Apologies if my formatting is off a bit. I'm still getting used to this site.
In my case, someone renamed GitHub repo and I tried to find Heroku app with new GitHub name
It helps me
heroku apps
heroku git:remote -a YOUR_APP
Solved it. Just sharing for future searches.
The issue was fixed by running git init and then heroku git:remote -a worldofwarcraft-api in my command line while inside my repositories folder. This initialized git in the repo and then set the heroku git remote to that repository.
Hopefully, this helps anyone else who had a similar issue.
Just an easy way to solve this issue:
1st: Add the command into your terminal: $ heroku apps
If you already logged into your heroku account from your terminal, all your apps will appear as a list like this:
your-project-name-1
your-project-name-2
your-project-name-3
your-project-name-4
2nd: Then chose which one you are needing to connect with the following command:
$ heroku git:remote -a your-project-name-2
If you've done the connection properly you'll receive the following output:
set git remote heroku to https://git.heroku.com/your-project-name-2.git
For my case, I was renaming my github repository.
You can find it in your repository settings then just rename it, it appears in the first place.
Then you can continue with git init again to re-initiate your existing git repository and then set your heroku remote with your heroku apps new name heroku git:remote -a YOUR_APP_NAME
If the app belongs to a team that you participate in, you have to specify the team option in the commands to see the app:
E.g:
heroku apps -t <team name>
or
heroku ps:scale web=1 --app worldofwarcraft-api -t <team name>
I've an existing project that works fine on another machine, but I've just upgraded and from within the project development directory, everytime I run a heroku command I have to post-fix it with --app
I feel like I've missed an application setup stage, but I can't figure out what, as everytime it states:
Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app APP.
Help appreciated.
You can solve this by adding the Heroku app to your .git/config folder.
If you are in the root of your project, run the following command:
git remote add heroku git#heroku.com:appname.git
This will set a line in your .git/config file which the heroku command line tool uses to figure out what app you're using :)
In other words, your local repo doesn't have Heroku app URL configured against an app name
Similarly what we do with git remote add ( we pass git URL as a destination for push/pulling of code )
that how our git know which repo/URL to hit (push/pull from )
Heroku also follows the same method/process.
All you have to do is add Heroku app URL (so that ur Heroku command have a reference for app URL )
it will know against which URL you are running your command against
To confirm if remote named Heroku has been set for your app:
git remote -v
if not configured or if you want it for an existing app
heroku git:remote -a app_name
it's a way to link your folder to the Heroku app
The Heroku recommended way:
heroku git:remote -a my-heroku-app-id -r what-i-want-to-call-it
Source: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git
Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app APP
The other answers address the first part of that statement, it is perfectly acceptable to run heroku commands in any directory. For example I have a customer facing front end project /front-end and a rails based /back-end project. I often work in the /front-end directory and if I have to connect to the production database I'll run heroku run rails c -a back-end. After I exit irb then I'm back in my desired directory.
I am starting out with heroku and am following the getting to start with heroku tutorial. I am on windows 7 and am using Windows powershell as the command line.
The commands that I am using are
git clone git://github.com/heroku/ruby-sample.git
cd ruby-sample
heroku login
heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku open
The directory was cloned and after heroku login I got Authentication successful. in the command line. After heroku create I got
Creating immense-lowlands-8694... done, stack is cedar
http://immense-lowlands-8694.herokuapp.com/ | git#heroku.com:immense-lowlands-8694.git
Git remote heroku added
so the app was added to my heroku account. But there was problem with git push heroku master. I got
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
What I have tried so far
This question said about adding keys but it is for Linux and didn't work for Windows 7.
I used heroku keys and it says that there is a key present for my e-mail ID.
As this answer says I tried heroku keys:add and got
this
Found existing public key: C:/Users/Aseem/.ssh/github_rsa.pub
Uploading SSH public key C:/Users/Aseem/.ssh/github_rsa.pub... done
but after that the error didn't end.
I tried what this answer says but ssh-keygen wasn't recognized so I guess it's for linux.
I tried removing using heroku keys:remove KEY_NAME and then heroku login to login again but that didn't take care of the error either.
What can I do to solve the problem?
Installed MSysGit instead of git. Added the C:\Program Files(x86)\Git\bin directory to the PATH variable and then doing what this answer says solved the problem.
Edit #3
Updating this at the top because it solved my issue and gave me a good troubleshooting step I didn't know about (and could save you some time, too)
Try getting the output of ssh -vvv git#heroku.com. For me, ssh was getting hung up on trying keys in /c/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/.ssh when my public key was in /c/Users/NumberOverZero/.ssh
Deleting the Emacs ssh folder (which was empty) fixed my issue since ssh would then check my Users .ssh folder.
I'm getting Permission denied (publickey) when trying to git push heroku master.
A few things that makes this different from the posts below:
I have ssh working for github
I was able to successfully push to heroku last night
Since that push, I've made a single-line change to one js file, and committed and pushed. There have been no other changes.
The closest I could find was this post:
git clone heroku ssh permission denied
I've looked through the related issues (there's quite a few):
git push heroku master Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
git push heroku master permission denied
git clone heroku ssh permission denied
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13059076/git-push-permission-denied-publickey-windows-xp
heroku - rails - Permission denied (publickey)
I've tried:
heroku keys:clear
heroku keys:add
heroku keys:clear
*delete every key in .ssh*
heroku keys:add
*delete my application on heroku*
heroku keys:clear
heroku login (adds key for me)
heroku create
git push heroku master
fails
*delete the app on heroku*
delete keys in .ssh
heroku keys:clear
copy all files into a new repository
push new repository to github successfully
heroku login (adds github key for me)
heroku create
git push heroku master
fails
*delete the app on heroku*
heroku keys:clear
heroku login (adds key for me)
heroku create
heroku git:clone app app
fails
Any ideas? I've gone through all of the steps in the linked SOs - most of which were just people not running heroku:add or setting up ssh keys (which I've done in each of these).
I let heroku take the wheel most of the time, (instead of directly creating ssh keys) assuming that the built-in commands would do what they needed when there were no ssh keys present. It seems not.
EDIT: And now that I deleted the app, the new relic addon is alarming that the website is down. Trying to log in through their website asks me to log in through heroku. Which I can't find a way to do, since the app is gone. Is there a way to delete that addon now that I can't get to the app? heroku addons gives an error, so I don't think I'm getting to it through there.
EDIT #2: Added another step I tried - moved files into new repository and push to new application.
I had the same problem for Windows 7 box and found the solution here: http://www.gmarwaha.com/blog/2011/05/18/heroku-trouble-with-windows-and-ssh-keys/
Solution: Typically once you create the keys as mentioned above, two files – “id_rsa” and “id_rsa.pub” – are stored in the “.ssh” folder
within the user’s home folder. If you are working with linux that
seems to be good enough. But for the windows version of git that
doesn’t seem to cut it. It wants the keys to be stored inside the
“.ssh” folder within the “msysgit” installation folder as well. If you
don’t find a “.ssh” folder inside the “msysgit” installation folder,
feel free to create one. Once you drop these two key files there and
repeat the entire process, everything went as smooth and my
application got deployed in the heroku cloud and the world is again a
better place to live in.
In my case, I have to find where git.exe was installed, which is C:\Program Files\Git\. So here are the steps:
Create .ssh folder inside C:\Program Files\Git\
Copy id_rsa and id_rsa.pub from your home folder (C:\Users\username\.ssh\) to C:\Program Files\Git\.ssh\.
Try again with C:\dev\heroku\sample-app> git push heroku master.
Nice job linking to all the other things you've looked at and tried! (that will improve the responses you get, but still you should be prepared for a lot of 'have you tried...', and 'maybe it's ...' because this is a system/env issue that isn't on the normal flow)
You might have had something working in your local terminal session that has since been lost. (I've had this happen a bunch of times)
Things it might be:
your ssh keys on heroku
your ability to push up to heroku from that computer/network
something about your git repo
I ran into this once and it was driving me crazy. I hopped on my (FREE) cloud9 account, cloned some simple rails app from github and pushed it out to heroku, which helped me prove that my heroku account was fine, heroku itself was fine, but my local laptop had some issues in my configuration.
I think the issue was my username, but I don't remember. (moving to a different env and starting from scratch helped me realize the issue though)
The main reason you get this message is because you do not have ssh-keygen added to your environment variables.
This command is located in the bin-directory of Git program files.
You should add that bin directory to your environment variables.
I currently have the latest version of my code on another computer that I want to develop from (Home computer and laptop for when I'm out and about) I set up heroku for my app on my laptop. Now I need to associate my code on my desktop so that I can push to heroku from there as well.
This is what I get from my desktop:
desktop:~/NetBeansProjects/onlinescheduler$ git pull heroku master
fatal: 'heroku' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I can't do heroku create because that will create a separate app. How do I associated the existing code with (or pull down a brand new version from) heroku?
Whats the command to do this?
Also, If you've never used heroku before on the other machine, you'll need to do a few more things first:
$ gem install heroku
$ heroku login
[then enter your credentials]
$ heroku keys:add [path to keyfile]
Now you can clone the remote repository:
$ git clone git#heroku.com:<heroku_app>.git <local_directory>
First of all, you'll want to follow the Quick Start instructions for Heroku, which you can get straight from the horse's mouth, right here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/quickstart
Once you've gotten through step 3, come back here.
Then, you can type this into the command line:
heroku git:clone -a myapp
This is described here:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git-clone-heroku-app
Then, if you want to grab the database too, here are some options.
Newer Heroku instructions on import/export:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-import-export
Older heroku instructions on push and pull: https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2009/3/18/push_and_pull_databases_to_and_from_heroku
If you are using mongo, this is a useful tool to sync your mongo database: https://github.com/pedro/heroku-mongo-sync#readme
If you first need to get the app from Heroku, clone your app.
To do that, write in your Terminal:
heroku git:clone -a your_app_name
If you already have the app and the remote to heroku follow the next steps. If not, you can check instructions here https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git
Find the name of your database
Write in your Terminal:
heroku pg:info -a your_app_name
it will look something like this:
HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_MAROON_URL
Find the name of your local database
In your Rails app go to config/database.yml
it will look something like this:
your_app_name_development
Clone your production database (PostgreSQL)
Write in your Terminal with your own database names:
heroku pg:pull HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_MAROON_URL your_app_name_development -a your_app_name
HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_MAROON_URL is an example of how could be the name of your production database (in Heroku):
my_app_name_development is the name of your development database (locally)
the_name_of_my_app is the name of your app in Heroku
Don't forget to finish this with bundle install...
If you already have your code base ready and have heroku setup, use:
$ heroku git:remote -a your_heroku_app
This will allow you to deploy from your new location.

Once you create a key in a new computer, you have to upload your new SSH key by typing heroku keys:add.
