git is awesome. There are tutorials scattered around the web and a good introductory screencast at peepcode.com. Fortunately, you only need to know a little about it to get started on Heroku.
To tell git to ignore files, in your app's root directory, create a new file called .gitignore and inside this file put the names of files and directories for git to ignore. Here's the content my file: .DS_Store *.log tmp/**/* config/database.yml db/schema.rb db/development.sqlite3 Strange that cloning your app didn't pull down the database.yml file. Here's the content of my database.yml, unmodified, from Heroku: development: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/development.sqlite3 test: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/test.sqlite3 Hope this helps, Kevin kweiner wrote: > Actually, I had created my app on Heroku and then used 'heroku clone > myapp' to clone it to my local machine.
