Displaying a confirmation after entering a Heroku command?

I am using Heroku and normally I do commands like:

heroku run rake db:reset --app myapp

which resets my database. I have read online that Heroku didn't support all rake commands (including db:reset, but the article may be outdated? as it works fine for me)

However, I have a production app and a staging app and am concerned about my late night programming, with regards to an accidental hit of db:reset on my production app.

Is there a way i could implement a prevention confirmation with a command like:

heroku run rake db:reset --app myapp or heroku run rake db:migrate --app myapp

or 

git push production?

  • Be very careful when running any destructive commands. Just incase use https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/pgbackups to make sure you can recover data if you do accidentally drop the database.
