Heroku fork not working. Says app already exists no matter what name I give

I am giving this command to fork app a***e-a*****e-94769 to another called rd-test

heroku fork --from a***e-a*****e-94769 --to rd-test

It says Forking a***e-a*****e-94769... app rd-test already exists.

But I don't see any such app.

Solution

  • App names are global in scope as they all become https://appname.herokuapp.com. So that message is telling you that someone else has already used rd-test. Try something more unique.
