Relate application to new buildpack

Question

I've created a new buildpack for testing, and I want my application to use this build pack. Previously, I put a reference to the custom build pack like the following:

cf push my_app -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/buildpack-nodejs.git

However, my buildpack was created locally. What are the steps I should take to use this new buildpack?

Answer 1

You can upload your custom buildpack from your local file system. Use the cf-create-buildpack command, and for the path argument supply the local directory where your created buildpack lives. Alternatively, you can zip it up and provide the zip file as an argument.
