This post relates to a rapidly changing event.
I simply want to connect to my GitHub account. When I do it, I get this error message as a small red pop up on the upper right side of the page:
Items could not be retrieved, Internal server error.
As of May 25, 2022, at 19:52 UTC, GitHub integration has been re-enabled:
We are happy to report that the GitHub integration is re-enabled! You can now reconnect with GitHub and restore your Heroku pipeline functionality, including Review Apps, with newly generated tokens.
You can connect to GitHub immediately or wait for the enhanced integration as described in this blog post. To re-establish your GitHub connection now, please follow these instructions.
Here is what the referenced blog post says about "enhanced integration":
In an effort to improve the security model of the integration, we are exploring additional enhancements in partnership with GitHub, which include moving to GitHub Apps for more granular permissions and enabling RFC8705 for better protection of OAuth tokens. As these enhancements require changes by both Heroku and GitHub, we will post more information as the engagement evolves.
No timeline is mentioned for availability of the enhanced integration.
Between April 15 and May 25, 2022, Heroku's GitHub integration feature was disabled while Heroku investigated a security breach. During that time, deploying was still possible via other means, most notably via git push.
To mitigate impact from potentially compromised OAuth tokens, we will revoke over the next several hours all existing tokens from the Heroku GitHub integration. We are also preventing new OAuth tokens from being created until further notice. Your GitHub repositories will not be affected in any way by this action.
Which Heroku features have become non-operative due to the removal of the Heroku-GitHub integration?
Enabling review apps
Creating (automatic and manual) review apps
Deploying (automatic and manual) review apps
Deploying an app from GitHub (either manual or automatic)
Heroku CI cannot create new runs (automatically or manually) or see GitHub branch list
Heroku Button: unable to create button apps from private repositories
ChatOps: unable to deploy or get deploy notifications
Any app with a GitHub integration may be affected by this issue. To address specific integration issues, please open a case with Heroku Support
Migrating from GitHub deployment to Git deployment
At 2022-04-21 23:53 UTC, Heroku provided extended instructions for migrating from GitHub-based deployment to Git-based deployment:
While our customers remain unable to reconnect to GitHub via the Heroku dashboard, we wanted to share a supplement to the code deployment methods previously provided. For instructions on how to change your deployment method from GitHub to Heroku Git, please refer to the following Help article: How to switch deployment method from GitHub to Heroku Git with all the changes/app code available in a GitHub repo.
This is due to an issue reported at their status portal, here.
For now, the solution is to use another pushing strategy.
The best one, for now, is using their remote with Heroku CLI. The steps for it are:
1. Install the Heroku CLI if not yet installed
Further information about installation and setup can get here
2. Perform login with the heroku login command
You will be prompted with your default browser window for completing the login at the Heroku portal.
3. Assuming you already have your app set up at Heroku (if not, please follow this), you just need to add a new remote for your Git repository with Heroku CLI.
Run heroku git:remote -a example-app - substitute "example-app" with your app name.
4. git remote -v to check if the remote has been set successfully
You should see something like this appear as a response:
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your-app-name.git (fetch)
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your-app-name.git (push)
5. Push your branch to the new heroku remote
git push heroku your_branch_name
6. You should see the progress of your deployment being displayed in the terminal
The reference for this answer has been taken from here, which can also be used if further information other than the one provided in this answer is needed.
I'm in the same situation, and, as others stated, it's due to a Heroku security issue. In the meantime, you can deploy your code by using the Heroku CLI.
So, on the Heroku web dashboard, select Heroku Git:
Then set up the Heroku CLI with heroku login.
Finally, if your repository already exists on GitHub, you need to add a new remote by running:
heroku git:remote -a your_app_name
git push heroku master
You can find more information about this solution in the official documentation.
It is just a temporary thing, and more details about this issue are here.
You could push to both GitHub and Heroku at once for a temporary solution:
git push -u origin <branch>
git push heroku <branch>
I see the previous answers, but since I was facing an issue with review-apps (PR apps), mostly you will be working with different branches in that case, so here is a solution for pushing your stuff other than the (master/main) branch to Heroku.
First make sure your remote origin is set up correctly
heroku git:remote -a your_awesome_app
You can also confirm it by git remote -v and you should see your origin pointing to your Heroku application.
git remote -v
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your_awesome_app.git (fetch)
Here origin name is heroku.
If you want to deploy your changes from the main branch
git push heroku main
If you want to push your changes from feature branch (other than the* main branch)
Then push your feature branch to Heroku using the below command
git push heroku feature:main
heroku - is your origin name (confirm your origin name with git remote -v
feature - is your current branch which is other than main/master branch (check your branch name with git branch or git status)
For those who are using this integration for deployment purposes this, I suggest you use the deploy to a Heroku GitHub action here:
Deploy to Heroku
That way, you do not have to make significant changes to your deployment workflow.
I had the same issue. I already had cli installed.
git remote
Output:
heroku
origin
git remote -v
Output:
heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git (fetch)
heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git (push)
origin https://github.com/GitUserName/yourRepo.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/GitUserName/yourRepo.git (push)
Verify using the Git branch, if your branch is named main. For example, you would do:
git push heroku main
For me it is
git push heroku master
Now push your local changes
git push heroku master
Output:
To https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
I do not care that it is different than its remote. I've been developing locally and did not realize the automatic Git deploys had been failing. I care about the local changes:
git push heroku master -f
Now the deployed application is working as expected.
If you are getting an error while trying to push, it may be due to having different branch names for development vs deployment. In such a case, follow the instruction below;
If you are developing on a branch and deploying via Git you must run:
git push heroku <branchname you're developing on>:<branch you're deploying from>
This article goes into details on the behavior:
Duplicate Build Version Detected
Here's the easy work pattern I have used for Heroku. This is intended to help others who may not have gone through this before. I used this previously (2014-5) and had to set it up again last night to push.
First add the Heroku remote:
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git
As GitHub is often "origin" (git push origin...), this adds another remote destination, "heroku" (git push heroku...)
git remote
Output:
heroku
origin
My pattern for code/git/pushing:
Local development is the same. Push to GitHub, merge, and nothing changes.
Set your deploy to "Heroku git" as #a-chris outlines.
To push to Heroku, simply push the correct branch to the newly added "heroku" remote source. I use the --force option to dismiss any possibility of conflict. Unless you have been using Heroku Git and branching previously, there should only be one branch - typically "master" to use.
This will trigger a deploy. You can watch or review in the dashboard as well as the terminal. Treat the new "heroku" source as a directory to dump code to promote and not a repository you want to keep history, etc. A second-class citizen in this particular pattern.
I push from my local terminal now instead of auto-deploy or via the dashboard button. If your organisation is large, I recommend controlling access. Many developers may not have experience juggling multiple destination repositories or to catch an accidental push.
To trigger a local push, be sure your master (or whatever) is up to date...watch your commit hashes!
This will set you up to follow advice such as BR19_so and others.
Henrique Aron's answer is working for the local machine.
For a remote SSH server, you will face an IP mismatch error.
To resolve it:
Log in to the Heroku website
Go to account settings
Reveal the API keys in the panel
In the server CLI, type heroku login -i
Input email, use the API key as the password, and you can follow the rest of the steps of a Git remote push
I am using a 2014 MacBook Pro with macOS 11.6.5 (Big Sur) version for command
brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku
I was getting an error and a message to update to the latest Xcode. The latest Xcode needed the latest macOS, which I could not upgrade to (I needed a 2015 MacBook Pro or newer). For a 2014 MacBook Pro, I was able to Install Xcode_13.2.1.xip and was able to run. Now I can push updates to Heroku.
brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku
There is an update regarding this issue. You can now enable GitHub integration as mentioned in the update.
If it doesn't work, you can try removing the App connection to GitHub (disconnect) and adding the connection again. Adding the connection again can also be done in incognito mode because sometimes an issue occurs related to cookies (mentioned here).

so I have a self-hosted Gitlab, I use Git kraken pro and git for windows to enable the LFS component.
I'm having the issue where when I push to my repository git kraken asks for authentication. (Username and password.) How ever I have no such issue when I pull the data, it will just do the job. And the same is for the LFS, I can pull but not push the data without a password.
Here is the set up:
I have not been successful in setting up the ssh keys at this point as it refuses to use them and I'm still trying to work that issue out.
I have pressed the "remember me" option for the pop up and that doesn't seem to work
I have set up the access token and that all works.
The GitLab ce is installed on a Linux OS and I am connecting to it via 4 windows PC's using git kraken (all on pro licenses).
Git lab CE is updated to the latest version and same for git Kraken
Obviously, the preferred method of connection to the git is SSH but it refuses to work. I have tried the git kraken's version of ssh and manually creating and installing the keys using cmd line.
When I enter the U/P to push the data it only works for that single push even if I don't restart git lab. Every single time I need to place a user name and password and this is tiresome.
What I'm asking is, how can I fix this? This is my first full-fledged self-hosted git, and I've learned things on the fly, I do have normal git experience but the set up for the self-hosted is a lot more involved compared to just using git itself.
The reason I am self-hosting is, cost. My repos are GB in size and I have many. So, I need to have my own set up to avoid having those kinds of costs.
How can this be fixed?
When I enter the U/P to push the data it only works for that single push even if I don't restart git lab. Every single time I need to place a user name and password and this is tiresome.
Double-check if your GitKraken is actually using an SSH URL (git#yourServer:user/repo), as a username/password should only work for HTTMS URL (https://yourServer/user/repo)
Check the SSH port is reachable from your windows:
curl -v telnet://yourServer:22
If it does not connect, double-check your Omnibus installation on Linux, making sure the SSH daemon is started and active, using the right sshd_config.
The OP Maize adds in the comments:
A complete reinstall and removal of setting in GitKraken solved the issue.
Previous uninstalled seems to of kept the settings, so when I removed those, it sorted itself out.
I created a GitLab "CI/CD for external repo" and linked my GitHub.
I then set up mirroring to Pull from that GitHub.
I would have expected when I push to my GitHub, it would show the latest code in the GitLab and automatically start running my GitLab CI pipeline right away, but I noticed this only happens after about 1 hour delay, so I've been pressing the "Update Now" button every time.
This is extremely inconvenient, so am I missing a step to have it simply get the latest code and run the pipeline on every push to GitHub?
When mirroring a GitHub repository using GitLabs "CI/CD for external repo" feature, you must use an account with admin access on the GitHub repository so that GitLab can use your credentials to set up a web hook, which will notify GitLab when there are changes to be pulled.
The webhook URL will look like https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/12345678/mirror/pull. I don't think you can create this manually as it needs to be set up with a secret, so you probably need to remove the project from GitLab and reconnect it.
I have a trouble making git push work for me for Dokku instance on Azure. In particular, it was installed using this template. For installation I used the latest Dokku version (0.10.3) with Ubuntu 16.04.
The problem, I think, is that a special admin User is created from this template. So, I can ssh using its name and it works pretty well, but when I try to git push to remote (which is dokku#...) it prompts for a password. There is a similar question on StackOverflow, but I don't see any obvious solution to my problem
As I mentioned on the issue you filed in our issue tracker, you will still need to setup the ssh user via the web ui we start for your server. Once you set that up, you should be able to push code.
I have managed to use Parse Server on Heroku for quite sometime now using this guide.
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-a-parse-server-to-heroku
however I would like to use the dashboard but my parse server is 1.6, is there a way to update my parse server from heroku?
I assume you deployed parse-server to Heroku simply by using the Deploy button on the Heroku website. If so you can manually fetch the changes of parse-server-example from the original repository onto you computer and push them back to heroku.
Clone the current deployment of parse-server from Heroku to your computer
Add the original parse-server-example as a remote repository from https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server-example.git
Fetch the changes from the remote repository that you've added
Merge
Push to heroku
Note:
Parse Server is currently at 2.2.9. If you have a live app it would be recommendable to test if your app still works after the update in a test environment prior to the production environment .
I am looking for a way to easily deploy a nodejs app via a command line script.
I found one solution:
https://github.com/Skookum/nimbus
I also heard that the whole thing can be done with git and post commit hooks.
What would people recommend?
edit: i am deploying it to my own box where i have root
You have two options on a self hosted setup.
Do it all yourself
This entails git post-receive hooks. In short you setup your production box to host a copy of your repository, on your local machine you setup a remote, let's call the remote production.
Now when you run git push production master on your local machine, the updates are sent and the server executes the post-receive hook on your server which runs whatever you wish.
Actions you may want are: checking out/writing the data in the repo to files/folders (the git repo on the server is stored as a bare repo); restarting your webserver; notifying you that there's been a deployment etc.
I'd suggest reading up on it at http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks and taking a look at a few tutorials, this one (http://ryanflorence.com/deploying-websites-with-a-tiny-git-hook/) looks prety legit.
Use a service to manage it for you, http://www.deployhq.com/ is the only one that springs to mind but I'm sure there's other.
Good Luck and Happy Hacking :)
There is a tool called shipit.js (https://github.com/shipitjs/shipit) which allows you to perform different deployment tasks like:
moving code from the repo to the server
restarting server
installing node_modules
etc.
You create a config file, and then runs: npx shipit deploy and all tasks you specify are performed. In case of failure, it has a rollback mechanism.
There is a nice screencast about it: https://youtu.be/8PpBySjkWEM.
