How do I modify the source of an installed package in Heroku? It's a django app, but I suppose it shouldn't make much of a difference?
Heroku uses Git to manage your source code. Please see the quickstart guide at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/quickstart.
You will have to install Heroku Toolbelt, which is a command-line tool. With that application, you will be able to manage and deploy your heroku application.
If you ment 3rd-party addons, I think these are submodules, so you may not be able to modify them.

The Laravel project made based on vuejs UI is deployed on the server. Now I need to change the code and worked fine on the local machine. But the problem arose that I have to zip all the files and again upload. This seemed tedious. Also when I uploaded it, the application seemed not changed as on the local machine. What should I do? I also don't have a node installed on my Cpanel so that I was unable to run npm run dev.
The preferred way is to use a Version Control System (VCS) like Git.
VCS
Version control systems are software tools that help software teams manage changes to source code over time. Consider uploading your project to a Github repository.
If you Google this, you’ll find tutorials that can explain it much better than we can in an answer here.
Note: You require SSH access to the server in order to run Git commands. Having SSH access will also solve your problem of not being able to run commands like npm run dev. Consider deploying your repository on a Virtual Private Server (VPS).
(S)FTP
There are several ways of deploying. One of them being, manually transferring files using SFTP or FTP. However, as you've mentioned, this is a tedious process.
I installed a Heroku plugin, and I'd like to tinker with the source code of the plugin easily, by directly editing the plugin JavaScript package. However, I don't know where plugins are stored. I skimmed the heroku plugin docs and didn't see an answer.
Where can I find the installed plugin on my machine? In my case, I'm using macOS.
C:\Users\$(user)\AppData\Local\heroku\plugins\
I am creating a very small and clean meteor app and have recently updated to v0.9 of meteor to be able to get rid of meteorite as "package manager".
For me it is really important in a way not to have any deployment specific stuff wired up into the sourcecode if it is possible.
What I am trying to do in a way is to have a good and clean Continuous Integration running. Right now I am using Codeship to run the tests and then push to heroku. But since I updated top meteor v0.9 there not seems to be a working buildpack.
Is it a reasonable way to create a buildpack on my own? That one would not have to do more than just install node, npm and meteor. Or is there another way to have the app bundled on a "build server" (can codeship do that?) and then have it somehow pushed to heroku as normal node.js app with all the necessities and dependencies?
Concerning the buildpack way:
I have been trying to install meteor via
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
But when I run
meteor deploy --directory deploy
I get
bundle: You're not in a Meteor project directory.
This buildpack (which I authored) works for meteor >0.9 using meteor's native packager; no meteorite:
https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse
You could start off with the existing buildpack (or one of the many forks of it).
It should be relatively easy without meteorite since you would no longer have to worry about it, its just getting rid of meteorite and updating the version of node. https://github.com/oortcloud/heroku-buildpack-meteorite
Regarding deploying to heroku. meteor deploy is meant to deploy to *.meteor.com or via Meteor's upcoming commercial product. Deploying to heroku is also relatively easy.
Deploying to heroku is setting up the buildpack, adding the git remote and git pushing to it. Also easy, perhaps easier, than meteor deploy.
During the git push process heroku will take your meteor app, bundle it, download node and run it (as in the buildpack). It's quite easy that way. One nice thing without meteorite is I imagine the build process is much faster.
I have a catalog of builds indexed by git revision stored on s3 by our CI server. Instead of performing a build at deploy time, I would like to just download a pre-built application, unpack it and go.
I'm trying to accomplish this with a custom buildpack, but in order to do so, I need for it find out which revision of the code is being compiled. Sadly (for me), I can not find this information anywhere in the environment.
It seems like this is something that ought to be discoverable somehow, but I'm completely flummoxed as to where.
You might want to take a look at the (not officially supported) heroku-anvil plugin, which includes the heroku release command to push externally created slugs to a Heroku app. It was originally designed for working with slugs created with Anvil, but should work for any TAR GZ, as long as it can be run on Heroku. For example you could do something like this:
$ heroku release https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/slugs-000.tgz -a myapp-staging
Releasing to myapp-staging.heroku.com... done, v42
My hosting service just informed me that they don't have Git installed on any of their servers. I am at a loss as to how I am going to deploy a project there. My only option is Bash, it seems. Is it possible to deploy a project using bash only? Help is much, much appreciated.
Regards
I had the same issues, I found the deploy option in http://beanstalkapp.com to be excellent, you can setup deploy via SFTP/FTP from your GIT/SVN repo.
And even deploy in staging.
