How to set up it on heroku

Get an heroku account and follow the starting guide to create an new application

Clone the source code of your new application:

$ git clone [email protected]:YOUR-APP-NAME.git

Add this project as a remote

$ git remote add origin [email protected]:Mic92/github-tags.git
$ git pull origin master
$ git push heroku

Configure Postgres

$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev
Adding heroku-postgresql:dev to sushi... done, v69 (free)
Attached as HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_RED
Database has been created and is available

NOTE: HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_RED can differ in your case

$ heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_RED_URL

Optionally:

To increase your api request limit per hour, you can register the site as a github app: https://github.com/settings/applications/new

Then export the client id and client secret of your github app to the enviroment variables of heroku:

$ heroku config:add GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=_YOUR_CLIENT_ID_
$ heroku config:add GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=_YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_

Check your setup by visiting https://your-heroku-app.herokuapps.com/status (replace your your-heroku-app with your application name) If Github Client Key and Github Client Secret is present, you can hit the "Get an OAuth key"-link. After login export the OAuth token to heroku:

$ heroku config:add GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN=_YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN_

Now you can recheck your setup by visiting https://your-heroku-app.herokuapps.com/status again
