What's the correct way to rename a heroku app?

Question

Doesn't seem to be a way to do it from the command line, and when I do this from the site, I run into this issue when I try to git push heroku master:

 !  No such app as [previous app name].

Is this as simple as changing how I point to the app in git?

Did you try heroku apps:rename NEWNAME?

If you already changed it via the web interface, you just need to update the heroku remote's URL, which you can do with git remote set-url heroku <newurl>. You can get the new URL from the web interface. – Supposition

Answer 9

If you want to rename your heroku app use: heroku apps:rename new_name

Please replace "new_name" with the name you want to give your app. make sure you do not include any "https://" because this will give you an issue. simply replace new_name with your app name

e.g heroku apps:rename grapefruitblog

After doing this, heroku requires that you update git remotes for all other local checkouts of the app. you can do this by running this command: heroku git:remote -a new_name

Again, replace new_name with the name you previously put in

e.g heroku git:remote -a grapefruitblog
