python cant open file 'manage.py' - "heroku run python manage.py migrate command input"

Hi I have finished my Django pycharm project and I'm now trying to upload it to heroku/ host it on heroku. I have followed this link https://medium.com/@qazi/how-to-deploy-a-django-app-to-heroku-in-2018-the-easy-way-48a528d97f9c which has actually successfully worked for me in the past. When I get to the step were you put this command in however 'heroku run python manage.py migrate' I continue to get this error message 'Running python manage.py migrate on ⬢ radiant-retreat-19016... up, run.6371 (Free) python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory' Im not that much of a beginner so I know that my manage.py file is in the right place especially cause I can run ' python manage.py runserver '. I will attach the code to my procFile below along with my manage.py code and settings. I have looked everywhere on the internet for the problem and some people have it but nothing has worked for them. I will attach any other code if you need it. I even transferred all code to a new project and the same problem occurred.

Solution

I finally figured it out after 10 hours. Other sources online were right. If you refer to the link I posted above at the very bottom command. If you run the git push stuff first than that last command and after that you run the heroku migrate command it should work. WAIT! If it doesn't work then if you have touched your git repository stuff or changed the name or messed with your squilte3 file and you didn't know what you were doing then transfer all your code to another project so the git stuff and squilte3 stuff automatically is made and resets then follow the instruction in this comment again. If not I don't know what to tell you but it worked for me.
