When you enable automatic deploys for a GitHub branch, Heroku builds and deploys all pushes to that branch. Note that release of the feature branch is overwritten on the next successful GitHub push to the development branch. Simply trigger a manual deploy of the feature branch to test it on the Heroku app. For example, you might have a development app synced to the development GitHub branch, but you temporarily want to test a feature branch. You can also use manual deploys to temporarily deploy a branch other than the one that’s configured for automatic deployment. Use manual deploys if you want to control when changes are deployed to Heroku. With manual deploys, you can create an immediate deployment of any branch from the GitHub repo that’s connected to your app. More details are available on GitHub.Īfter you link your Heroku app to a GitHub repo, you can selectively deploy from branches or configure auto-deploys. If your repo is in a GitHub organization that has third-party application restrictions enabled, an organization admin needs to approve Heroku for use with the organization.
