Git push failing after Heroku app name change

Question

I changed my app name from "my-app-staging" to "my-app-staging-new" in the Heroku dashboard. Now I can no longer push changes to it- git throws the following error:

! No such app as my-app-staging.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

How do I resolve that?

Answer 1

You need to change your git remote.

If you do git remote -v you should see heroku listed.

It will look something like:

heroku [email protected]:my-app-staging.git (fetch)
heroku [email protected]:my-app-staging.git (push)

Delete that remote...

git remote rm heroku

...and then add the new one

git remote add heroku [email protected]:my-app-staging-new.git
